In the State of Georgia can a pregnant 16-year-old marry without parental consent?

Answer 1

In most states, a juvenile having a child is considered emancipated, or a legal adult. As such, she can do as she pleases. You can check whether this is true in your state by contacting the courthouse and speaking to the clerk of the court. As an aside, raising a child correctly costs about $165,600, or $9,741 a year. That doesn't factor in usual living costs like rent, utilities, insurance, gas and gorceries. If you still have assistance available to you through your family, you might want to think about utilizing it while you can. * Being pregnant or having a child does not confer emancipation status upon a minor in any state with the exception of Wisconsin. The State of Georgia does allow a pregnant minor or one who already has a child to marry without parental permission. A notarized letter from a physician licensed to practice in the Georgia attesting to the pregnancy must be presented at the time of application of the marriage license. Minors who are legally married are considered emancipation with the exception of those laws which regulate age specific acts, such as the purchasing and use of alcohol.

Answer 2

No, the state's law concerning the marriage of a minor does not make exceptions for pregnancy. In most cases a pregnant minor may petition the court for emancipation rights for her to marry or receive public assistance for herself and her child. More information can be obtained by contacting the clerk of the circuit court in the county of residence.
