Legal Question in Constitutional Law in South Dakota
Law on Underage Dating
My friend is 16 and she's dating a 19 year who will be 20 in about a month. Her parents don't have a problem with it and she doesn't understand why it's wrong. I was wondering what the law is on underage dating in South Dakota. I know they can't have sex because he is more than 3 years older than her but what other consequences could happen as a result of their relationship?

Merely dating without having sex should not present any legal problems, especially if the girl's parents approve of the relationship.
