I am sorry that at a time when things should be less stressful for you, you are being placed under pressure from the events as they are unfolding. So while it is true that 18 is the magic number to get married without parental consent in Indiana, minors ages 15-17 may obtain a license to marry in the case of pregnancy with the approval of a Judge of the Superior or County Court. Ask your parents to help. Good luck and be well.
