I think they are, but they obviously had sex prior to marrige since she was pregnant before she was married. I never said the marrige was illegal, I just said Nebraska has no laws reguarding teen marriage. If they had waited till marriage to have intercourse this whole thing would be a little less in the grey area.
However the parents objected to the relationship and they had sex prior to their marriage. This is where statutory rape comes in to play. This is why I agree with the state of Nebraska. I also think they should get the parents on child endangerment or something because if your child is handicapped or not, at 13 a child should not be pregnant. The reason they get pregnant is irresponsible parents and lack of supervision.
