If you mean for statutory rape they can not. There are no laws against dating but since the 17yo is a minor she will need their consent to date. There are only laws regarding sex but you also have to remember that if someone report you for statutory rape you will have a hard time to prove it never happened.
Dating is not what gets someone in trouble when one is underage, its having sex with them. Dating is going to the movies and doing things that dont involve sex. Dating, no, having a physical relationship, yes. The legal age of consent in Indiana is 16. Dating that involves no sex. No you cant get in trouble. It could lead to trouble. Dating is not a problem (at least not in the USA), as long as no impropriety is commited. ===ANOTHER ANSWER=== AS OTHER answers have said, just dating (going out together) is not a problem, but remember, statuatory rape is NOT just about guys who are OF AGE having sex with girls who are UNDERAGE.. It pertains to girls who of age (legally able to give consent) and underage guys who are not of age (legally able to give consent). So before things go further, if they haven't already, think about the consequences of your actions. Statuatory rape is not necessarily forced sex, but is when an underage person consents to sex with an older person. The difference is that legally, the underage person is not LEGALLY able to give consent, even if they want to. Hope this helps answer your question.
Keep it in secret that way your parents dont have to know!!! ~Matt~ You do realize that it is not illegal to date a minor, just to have sex with one? I think though that her parents are in charge and you may have to back off and respect their wishes.
Yes it is, there are no laws about dating. Love isn't about age or anything. Just love that person and it will be fine. Anyway, girls might love the mature type!
no she is not dating terrence she says that he is just a good friend.
she is dating floyd pepper. i think zoot just hangs out with them
just say it and get on with your life
There is no real answer to this, it will be each persons opinion. I didn't start dating until I was 16 as I was not allowed. I believe that it should be once your mature enough to make such a decision. I think girls should start dating whenever they want to. But just be smart about it. ^^
You can tell him that you have not told your parents because they don't like the idea of their baby girl dating just yet.
Flexing on there friends but its not just about what the boy cares its you and only u boys love that girls do is them just being their self
That is up to the parents to decide since there are no laws for dating, just for sex.
You cant change a girls mind if its ment to be her mind will change in time you just have to wait
No dating is not illegal as long as your parents are OK with it. There are no laws for dating, just for sex.
There are no laws for dating just for sex, so it's the parents who gets to decide.
Of course they can its just that they cant do as dangerous moves as a boy
No y the hell would they be dating there not lesbians plus there just friends there not the type of girls to do that stuff
Be true to who and what you are just don't tell your parents until you are older.
You don't - you're just asking for a barrel full of trouble if you do. Be her friend until the time she is allowed to date. It will come eventually. Is she worth waiting for? If yes, then wait. If not, move on. But like it or not, her parents have the right to decide when she can start dating.
