Can we get married without consent if i'm pregnant?

Asked by confused122 about 1 year ago, 22 answers.

I am a 16 year old and I am pregnant, living in new jersey. My boyfriend is 19, and he now lives in South carolina. ( he use to live in jersey till last year, but he comes and visits me twice a monthh) My parents found out we were dating a long time ago...

and they strictly said that I cannot even talk to him as friends. So my boyfriend and I talk like secretly.. And I just turned 16, and I am pregnant. My boyfriend is very rich, so money would not be a problem, and his parents are fine with us getting married and all that. We are no doubt ready to have a baby as well. The problem is my parents. My parents would kill if they found out that we are still talkng... and if I evenn tried to tell that I am pregnant, they would go crazyy and shitt...

So I am wondering if I can legally marry him because I am pregnant even though I am a minor WITHOUT PARENT CONSENT cause I cannot even imagine mentioning this to my parents... they would literally kill me

So basically I want to marry him, move in with him and have the baby... all without my parents consent...
How can I do that legally without getting either of us in trouble\?
I am loooking for an actual way out, not a lecture. and abortion is out of the question...
HELP?

Lots of incorrect responses here... The answer is yes you can get married being pregnant at your age without parental consent, but very few states allow this. Only one state I know of that allows this without parent approving AND without having to obtain approval from a judge first. That state is Maryland.

Maryland allows pregnant (or if you already have a kid) 16 and 17 year olds to get married without parental consent and you DO NOT have to get permission from a judge first. You have to have an official letter from a doctor in Maryland which confirms your pregnancy (or child if you already have a kid). You DO NOT have to be a Maryland resident to get married in Maryland. A Maryland marriage license is valid in all other areas of USA.
