Answer 9

I think the fact that you are 14 and have a child AND want to get married is a perfect example of why there is a law preventing 14 year olds from getting married.

Teenagers are impulsive and don't think life-changing decisions through.  They don't even realize what life changing decisions are in some cases.  What you think you want now, won't even be what you want in 2 years, let alone for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Take your time and deal with what you've got going on now (taking care of a child when you are still a child) and leave marriage for when you understand what the vow of "forever" and "for better and WORSE" really can mean.

Answer 10

Maryland: Parental consent is needed if under 18 years of age. If you are between 16-18 years of age, one of your parents or guardian must be with you and provide written consent. If you are under 16 years of age, you will need both the written consent of your custodial parent or guardian and the written approval of a judge of the Orphans' Court Division of the Court of Common Pleas.

If you are under 18, pregnant or have a child, and show a certificate from a licensed physician stating you are pregnant or have had a child, the parental consent requirement may be waived.

Sounds like maybe you can.

However, I have to say, you are about to commit to this child for the rest of your life and you probably aren't ready for that.

Don't take on a second commitment that is supposed to last a life time  when you are about to face this child.

It's simply too much at once. If it's meant to be - you and the child's father will stay together and get married when you are older.

If it isn't the right thing you will only make things harder on yourself and the child.
