17-year-old is the correct way.
She would have to have a court order. Or get their permission to get married.
If the parents and court agrees to it, yes.
No, but when you turn 18 you can request that the court lift the order.
No, he can't. And the father could be jailed for contempt of court if he allowed it to happen.
There is nothing to fight over in court. Until the 17 year old becomes an adult, or files for emancipation, they live with their parents.
In the state of MI, yes, a seventeen year old can move out of their parents' home. The police will not bring them back. At seventeen, a person is considered an adult, can be charged with a crime in the adult court and can make decisions about where to live.
It is the age of the victim and not the offense that defines their legal status. Seventeen years of age qualifies as a minor in ALL jurisdictions - UNLESS - they have previously petitioned the court and been granted emancipation.
