COLUMBUS, Ohio — An Ohio judge allowed a pregnant 17-year-old to get married without her parents’ consent after the bride-to-be said she could be forced to have an abortion if she stayed at home.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that the couple, who each turn 18 in a few months, got married Tuesday.
Ohio law requires parents to sign off on the marriage of anyone younger than 18, but judges can waive the requirement. The bride’s mother said she’s outraged the judge did so without hearing from her or her husband.
