Also, a 12 year old is legally able to walk into a Health Department clinic and obtain STD treatment without parental consent.
In your hypothetical, it's fornication and immoral on that basis. It's also rape and immoral on that basis. And illegal on yet another basis.
But if Mom and Dad sign off on it, and/or a judge does, the kid can get married. It's still of highly questionable ethics, but neither illegal nor immoral so long as the kid consents.
The parents and the judge are all insane but that's another issue.
