Is it illegal for a 19 year old to get a 16 year old pregnant?

Answer 1

No. Being pregnant/having a child does not emancipate a person. Unless you have been emancipated in some manner (court decree/marriage/joining the military) then your parents still have control and authority over you until you reach the age of 18. (06/13/09) Your child deserves an intact family, but how long will it remain intact? Do you want to gamble with the chances you will end alone with the child, or that you give the child to the father and leave? The chances of this are substantial. Over 85% of all divorces involve people who married or lived together prior to age 24.

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. Half of the male emotional health comes from a woman. The biochemical frequency range of the male brain adjusts itself to match that of the female, developing an emotional symbiotic relationship.

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

unfortunatly yes it is (sexual explication of a minor) [or sumthing like that] (rape) [either 1 or both of those] i know this b/c my bf is 19 and i was 16 now 17 and i had 2 find out info becuz i thought i was pregnant so yea it is. however if no1 trips out badly u will be sumwut safe. becuz ur parents/gaurdians can press charges and if they decide not to then the state can if they want to.

answer: I think it depends on the age of consent in your state, if you are above the AOC in your state then there should be no problem, except for the cost of the pregnancy

Answer 3

Yes. You are allowed to get pregnant at the age of 16... no less otherwise you'll be breaking the law. If the father is under 16, then it is illegal

Answer 4

The age of consent in Maryland is 16 so you are safe. If she had been a minor though no one had been able to give her consent. They had then broken the law.

Answer 5

Pregnancy does not equal emancipation. While there would be no crime involved, even to get married, which is the equivalent of being emancipated, parental permission will be required.

Answer 6

No, the age of consent in Maryland is 16.

Answer 7

Yes, age of consent there is 16.
