Can an adult be charged with child abuse for hitting a 17 year old that is married?

Anything is possible but, since the person is married and (supposedly) functioning as an adult, I doubt that the charge of CHILD Abuse would hold up. Probably the more correct charge would be "Simple Assault" or possibly Domestic Violence" depending on the victims relationship to the one who struck them.

Your being married isn't the determining factor in whether you are charged as an adult or not. If you were married before the age of 18 you would have had to have had parental consent, thus your parents would have signed for you to marry.If you committed a felony prior to turning 18 as well, it would depend on the circumstances and any mitigating factors as to how you would be charged.

A teenage can be charged with stealing at any age! Can he be charged as an adult? Perhaps, especially if he is a repeat offender. Juveniles very rarely get charged as an adult for stealing. But the age of 18, still albeit a teenage year, is the magic age-- one in which he becomes an adult, and therefore is charged as an adult for any crime he commits.
