Some people would probably say that a pregnant minor should be able to get married without parental consent, but as a mother I don't agree with that and I don't think there is ever a right circumstance of marriage of a minor. A minor is not automatically emancipated when he becomes a mother or father, or when he gets married. They are still considered minors by both law and society. However, in a New York case, Moe v. Dinkins, involving a 15-year-old girl named Maria Moe, and an 18-year-old boy named Raoul Roe, who had a child, attempted to marry without receiving Maria's mother's consent. The law states that for a minor to marry, the consent of both parents is required. Maria argued that her restriction is against her constitutional right to marry because she will never receive consent from her mother because giving consent would go against her mother's personal interests. The Court concluded that New York's parental consent requirement is rationally related to the State's legitimate interest in mature decision-making with respect to minor marriage; therefore the requirement of parental consent does not violate the Constitution of Mary
