A high school teacher in Oklahoma was fired Thursday after she and her 16-year-old student allegedly applied for a marriage license, the New York Post reported. Cassandra White, 34, and the teen reportedly went to the Cleveland County Courthouse on Wednesday to file for the license. Court records obtained by KFOR reportedly showed that the teen’s father signed permission to allow the marriage. Parental consent is a requirement under state law for anyone under the age of 16 who wants to marry, the outlet said. State law prohibits teachers and students in the same district from having sexual relationships, KFOR noted.
