Having a girl friend is not against the law. In most states the age of consent is 16. There are states were it is 17. Check your local laws by searching for your state and "age of consent". Aggie80, Attorney at Law I'm not in law inforcement or an attorney; however, I believe that in most states it is against the law. You could check your states penal codes, most of these are on the internet. The main thing is does her parents approved of you. Like the person before me said, it depends. And you better hope her parents like you. It depends on the state in which you live. That also depends on whether or not you're having sexual relations. That doesn't mean sex. If you grope your sixteen-year-old girlfriend, it's illegal. If you live in Tennessee, they changed the laws recently and it is now illegal. As far as I know, there was a four year period on reaching sixteen. You could be 16 and 20 but not 16 and 21. Now, if one party is a legal adult (18 and older) and one is a minor (under 18) even by a few days, it is technically illegal. If you have consentual sex, it's statutory rape because she is a minor and therefore not able to give informed consent as an adult. Often this whole thing can be avoided by either not having sex, or having your girlfriend's parents really like you. if neither she nor they ever complain, no one knows. If they do, you're screwed. If you were to end up with a girlfriend who was 13 and you had 'consentual' sex, you could be charged with sexual assault of a child and you would go to prison.
I would have to say that I am not an expert in this.
First of all, I think it is not against the law. However, if you decide to participate in sexual intercourse with her, then I believe you must gain a consent from yourself, one of her guardians/parents, and her own self, she is of the legal age.
I am not too sure, but I think that the two of you cannot get married either, except on special consent by both your parents.
I'm not stopping you from dating this girl, but I do think that if you have feelings for her, keep dating until you're both adults, then marry her.
I don't think any of it is against the law, unless you have sexual intercourse with her without anyone's consent, and, especially if you do without her own consent, otherwise, it is okay that you are dating her at the moment.
Good Luck.
Of course not. It is not illegal. Just a new concept that most of the people around may not be comfortable with, but it is not illegal. Although, you must be extra conscious, if in such relationships. It essentially depends on the maturity level of the girl.
yes it is!! although it depends on where you live. i know where i live you have to be 17 to be able to date someone who is already legal.
Not at all , the only way you can get into trouble is if you have sex with her. and when you do come to have sex wear a condom =)
16 will get you 20. Yes the 16 year old is under age.
No it isn't illegal! But it is illegal for an 18-year-old to have sex with a 15-year-old girl in many countries
I think it depends on what state you live in but most states yes it is. If you're having sexual relations then the parent or the girl could charge you for statutory rape
It isn't illegal to have a 15 year old girlfriend but having sex with her will be a felony.
No you can actually be arrested for satratory rape. It is illegal for anybody over the age of 18 to be sexually intimate with a minor.
Yes, it's illegal in California.
Dating is not a problem. Sexual activity could be, it depends on what state they live in. In some states the age of consent is 16 and in others it is 18. IF they live in a state where the age of consent is 18 it is illegal. The 18 year old adult could be charged with sexual crimes.
No. now to have sex with that 16 year old, depending on the country, is illegal
Yes
pregnant
No
no it is not illegal. it would most likely only be illegal if the 16 year old turned 18 and the girl is still only 16 or 17.
No its not illegal. If you were already dating and you just turned 18 then its acceptable. Otherwise, we would have a lot of people arrested. In the US theirs a thing called a 1 year period. States let you be 1 year apart in age, as long as the consenting person is over the age 0f 16.
No
No
