No. At the age of 12 this person is below the age of consent and can not enter into a marriage contract ( engagement is a contract). The age of consent is 16 in many states and 18 in others, but a 12 year old is a minor child. This is illegal for them to be engaged or dating. If they are dating and having a relationship with a person 18+ it is also child sexual abuse and the older person can be charged with rape.
You can get engaged at any age because there are no legal aspects to it, but at the age of 13 you are too young in my opinion to be engaged. I am 17 and engaged and most people think i am too young, I've actually been with my fiance since i was 14 and at that age there was no idea of marriage yet. Its not because you'll change as a person (i mean i changed, and he changed but we did it together and are still in love) and its not that you need to date other people, its because at your age you don't know what you want (and i know that sounds harsh) but I've changed my mind about so many things since i was 14, but my feelings for my man never changed and after this many years together we know we will always be together but when we first started dating we didn't know that. We waited till we graduated high school to get engaged are still waiting a few more years to get married.
