I don't think you can marry without parental consent, if you're pregnant don't be afraid to tell your parents I know at first they will get angry of course because you're too young to get pregnant and marry but they are still your parents they will understand you...say sorry for what you did, I know they can forgive you because they love you.

In the state of Indiana, if either is under 18, a parent or guardian must be present. Is there some reason why you feel your parents would not agree to the marriage? Have you talked to them about it? Do your folks know you are expecting? Speaking as a mom who has been there, I know at first your mom and dad will be scared for you and worried about your future. But if you and your boyfriend go to your folks and talk to them about the details of your plans, (where your boyfriend is working or going to work to support your family, where you are going to live, that you can afford the expenses of being married and living on your own), I think it will put their minds at ease. I know it did mine. All parents want is to know that their children are going to lead healthy, happy, secure lives. If you are able to show your folks that you two can do that together, it will do much to calm their fears and objections. If however, you don't have things worked out, can't afford to support yourselves, have no place to live, then perhaps your parents' concerns might not be unfounded and you and your boyfriend should put off getting married and going off on your own until you are both emotionally and financially able to. Wishing the two of you and your little one many blessings.
