Re: teen marraige

You asked about an underage marriage.

The parties need to speak with an attorney immediately. Relations between a 16 year old and a 25 year old are illegal in the state of PA. According the current policy, the best interests of the minor child and the baby are of less concern than enforcing the general public policy prohibiting statutory rape.

Get advice from an attorney before proceeding on any course.

Regards,

Roger
