Can a parent press charges against a 23-year-old man if he gets her 17-year-old daughter pregnant and the legal age of consent is 16?

There is nothing as a parent you can do for your daughter because she's not a minor. If she was raped (I sure hope not) then SHE is the one that would have to press charges. Just be there for her and stop the fighting and trying to get even with this young man. Your daughter probably is in love with this young man and gave her consent to have sex. It takes two. If this young man is a good person, then at least meet with him. I know 17 is a young age to get married, but no so many years ago if you reached 18 and weren't married you were considered a spinster. If the two love each other then try to see this and let it be. Stop and think back to when you were younger. Remember the love you felt for someone, the sexual urges, the excitement and adventure. If you didn't get pregnant before you were married my bet is you were just darn lucky. Yes, perhaps your daughter will get married, have a couple of children and perhaps divorce, but look around ... people older than your daughter are getting divorced. Every so often a few good marriages sneak through and it has nothing to do with how old you are. Never mind what family and friends think and just sit down with your daughter and talk to her woman-to-woman and not mother to daughter. She really needs your support whether she ends up marrying this man or not. Whether she marries him or gives this baby up for adoption, you will always be the grandparent to that child. Although I don't often suggest this, please (if you haven't already seen it) see the movie "Note Book" and you will see the struggles of two young people that ended up together for a lifetime. This is a true story by the way. I can feel for you and I understand you had many plans for your daughter, but she still can finish school, go to college and have a career. It's done all the time. I really hope you and your husband meet with this young man and get to know him a little more. Perhaps he's not as bad as you have made him out to be. Good luck Marcy

In this case, since the legal age of consent is 16, the 23-year-old man has not committed a crime. The parent cannot press charges against him as the relationship is legal. It is important for the parents to support and guide their daughter through this situation.

Im 15 and im pregnant your boyfriend is 20 can he get into trouble?
It depends on where you live, but in most places, a 20 year old having sex with a 15 year old is against the law, so he might.
If a 17 year old girl is eloped and got pregnant without consent of her parents what case can be put against the boy?
If she was age of consent she gave legal consent to sex so that part you can not do anything about. He can not be charged for anything then. It's not illegal to get pregnant, it's the sex itself that is illegal if she is below age of consent. In that case, if he is 18+, it was statutory rape. If he knew she was a runaway he can be charged with aiding a runaway. I would think twice about that though since your grandchild would be without her dad and he would not be able to pay child support from jail. Your daughter is 18 soon and will be emancipated. Try to keep a good relationship with her so you have a chance to a have a good relationship with your grandchild. Choose your battles.

I assume you are asking about discrimination against women. The government has done many things to protect women from discrimination.
