In New York, a minor who is married, pregnant, or has a child can consent to treatment without parental consent.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only for pregnancy
• D. Depends on service

Answer: (A)

In New York, certain minors are considered emancipated and can consent to their own medical treatment without a parent’s permission. Being married or having a child qualifies a minor as emancipated, which gives them the authority to make medical decisions for themselves. Because of that, a minor who is married or who has a child can seek medical care without parental consent. Pregnancy-related services are also handled in a way that supports access without parental involvement under this framework, though the core mechanism is emancipation through marriage or parenthood. So the statement is true.
