The problem in this case is that the parents actually were married at the time the child was born and that the school had to go out and do some digging to find out that the child had been conceived while they were merely engaged and not actually married. Why?
She probably had enemies there somewhere (churches can be full of very spiteful and bitter folk) and they were using this. Do remember that a certain Virgin was not married when she conceived, either, and that folks would have stoned her, too, if Joseph hadn’t done the right thing and married her.

You must be kidding. How the heck do you know? Digging? The teacher told the administration about her premarital relationship. Furthermore, we don’t have a whole lot of details involving this case except what the defense is claiming.
