The Chiapas Prosecutor's Office stated that the parents consented to the cohabitation of the 13-year-old girl and her 17-year-old partner. However, child marriage is prohibited in Mexico. By law, such relationships are illegal, and parents may be held liable. The Prosecutor's Office emphasized that parental consent does not override legislation aimed at protecting minors. Authorities plan to conduct further investigations to determine all the circumstances of the case.
