Legal Question in Family Law in Oregon

Age of majority.

I have a daughter who is 19 years old. My daughter has a boy friend which is 27 years old. My husband keeps saying he can throw him in jail because he is 27 yeras old and my daghter is only 19 years old. Can my husband do anything to my daughters boyfriend?

ANSWER:

In the state of Oregon, the age of majority is 18 years old.

With the exception if certain restrictions on use and possession of alcohol (which remain in effect until age 21), a person at age 18 and onward has all of the same rights and responsibilities as any other adult citizen.

So, it is perfectly legal for a 27 y/o man to have a 19 y/o girlfriend. Indeed, if they wanted to get married to one another, they could do so on their own, without need for consent from anybody else.
