Question Posted Thursday November 13 2008, 5:19 pm
ok heres the situation, im in love with my fiance, and my parents hate him, wont let me be with him, talk to him or see him. we've been together for 2 years, i know im going to marry him, i love him. im a 16 years old, and im pregnant. i want to run away and marry him, hes 19 years old in the navy, when youre married you get free housing for your family and everything along with being paid more. I read that in maryland you can get married without parental consent if you are pregnant. i want to run away from home and marry him, how will this work out, can this work out? wut will happen legal wise, i want to leave a note or something and just pack my bags and be very gone before they can do anything about it, i know my parents will call the police, will i get put in juvie as a runaway? will the charges be dropped and me be ok to be with him since we're married if we can in deed get married without parental consent? will anything happen to him for taking me in? please let me know asap. thanks! <33

The lowest ruling i've heard of was 18 months of not being within 50 ft. of the other person. Thats now what you want, huh? Do your parents know your pregnent? Seriously, ask your parents to have him over for dinner. what don't they like about him? Listen to what they have to say. But make sure that they know that ultimetly who you love/like/marry/be with is up to you.

I don't know where you heard that you can leagally get married but I think that is wrong unless you are amancipated and obviously you aren't. Do what's best for your baby but wait. You are young and you need as much help as you can and unless you are willing to drop out of school you are going to need your family for help and support. Don't drop out either because it seems like the military people get paid a lot but babys and bills and food and all that costs a lot. Believe me just deal with it for two years till you are legal...you will end up regretting it.
OMG I just looked it up! your right. Honestly I think that rule is the most ridiculous rule ever. You are young and changing I am not saying you and him can't work out because I am young and married but at least wait until you have to take care of all finances anyways when you are an adult.
