Re: teenage pregnany
She is still a minor child and she has no "rights" until she becomes an adult at 18. She cannot legally move out until she is 18 years of age.
If the boyfriend is over the age of 18, he can be arrested for statutory rape. Even if she consented, he can be arrested. There was a recent case that made the news.
If she has parental permission, I believe that she can marry him.
Good luck!
