@chocolate_new_orleans Said they were in "infactuation" They don't know what love is though until they have grown up some.
Whilst I agree with you to a certain extent... are we able to say that they are NOT in love?
I think love happens as and when we allow ourselves to. Age has no bearing on it. With maturity, we are more 'aware' of what loving and being in love entails... but can anyone safely say
when we are then qualified to know love and truly be in love? To me, love means a relationship that is life-giving - one of mutuality: mutual trust, mutual giving, and mutual receiving. When I say "I love you"... what I mean is: I want to give myself to you -- my time, my patience, my listening ear, my forgiveness, all of me... and that I graciously accept your person, who and what you are; and that I trust in the selflessness of the agape that you offer me. What if they felt all that, despite their (I'm assuming here) young age?
No one owns us - so we have nothing to lose. Only we can give away or surrender all that we hold to the challenges within our lives. Within the midst of our suffering there is always something to be learnt. With every obstacle overcome, we will become stronger... and wiser in the ways of life.
As Carl Jung once commented:
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.
He who looks outside dreams.
He who looks inside, awakens.
I think she deserves a chance to find herself.

Of course, not being a parent myself, I am not qualified to dish this out... but I have known how it's like to face objection. Enough pain and hurt to tell myself - never will I subject any of my kids to that. 
she rocks...
