It depends upon the laws of state in which you live. Generally the state will waive the minimum marital age when it relates to a pregnant minor. In some states a statement from a physician licensed to practice in the state where the application is filed is all that is required. Other states will require medical evidence, parental consent or approval of the court. Without knowing the state of residency a more specific answer is not possible.

Biologically, this is when females reach full mature on the physical, emotional, and hormonal levels. At this point, a woman is fully prepared to have and handle children, as well as a male that is still not fully mature.
Males don't reach full physical and hormonal maturity until age 30. This is also when they reach their peak emotional maturity, but not to the point of being fully independent.

Couples who begin cohabiting and/or get married prior to age 24 can find themselves drawing away from each other as each reaches full maturity. Their whole view of the world, and each other, changes. This doesn't happen to all couples, but clearly it is a factor in most relationship breakdowns. Cohabiting couples breakup three times more than married couples. Cohabiting couples that later marry have a 46% higher rate of divorce than those who did not cohabit prior to marriage. See Link Below

In NC a pregnant 15-year-old can ask for court approval to marry. A judge may approve the marriage if they find that 'the underage party is capable of assuming the responsibilities of marriage and the marriage will serve the best interest of the underage party'. However, be aware that there is a presumption that 'the marriage will not serve the best interest of the underage party when all living parents of the underage party oppose the marriage. The fact that the female is pregnant, or has given birth to a child, alone does not establish that the best interest of the underage party will be served by the marriage'. So if Mom and Dad oppose the marriage...
If a young girl decides, or acidentally, got pregnant then i believe the girl has a right to decide who the child stays with.

As far as I know, the legal obligations are the same as if you were married to the mother for 20 years before she got pregnant. If you are the father, then you are the father and that means you are legally and financially responsible for that child.
