Question
Can a Muslim pregnant girl, age 17 marry a Christian boy, age 17
The easy answer is yes, depending on what state you're in.
The more difficult question is why are you asking? Are you the pregnant girl? Are you the Christian boy? Are you a member of either of the families? Do they WANT to get married, or feel obligated because she's pregnant? Is he the father? There are so many questions here, that I can't be more specific until I know some of the facts - if you would provide me some background information, I'd be delighted to give you some more advice, but the way you've asked the question, I'd have to say, "yes she can; but should she? I don't know for sure."
Blessings, and I hope to hear from you again,
Carl
