Arkansas has required education until age 17. And they have no emancipation statute. *When a minor becomes legally married he or she is considered to be emancipated for all practical legal purposes other than those that are restricted by law, for example buying and/or consuming alcohol; that being the case, a married minor can drop out of school without consent of parents, guardian or authorities. Arkansas Statute 9-26-104, "Removal of Disability of Age of a Minor".

Why student drop out of school in early marriage?

Most students who drop out of school after getting married, is because they can't afford to go to school anymore. They get a job, which does not pay as much as job that a person who graduates gets. Stay in school, graduate, get a job, then get married. Your marriage will probably last longer , if you have a good income, than if you are poor.


Can a 16 almost 17-year-old girl in Arkansas who is pregnant move in with her 18-year-old boyfriend and drop out of school without getting in any legal trouble?

No, Arkansas Compulsory Education Law requires the minor to remain in school until the age of seventeen; the minor must be seventeen by Oct 1st of the school year. Also the age of majority in Arkansas is 18, which would make it "illegal" for a minor to leave the family home w/o parental permission and adherence to Arkansas Juvenile Code guidelines.
