yes, and Clark would be arrested for Statutory Rape. The only way around that would be for them to get married first, which even Martha and Jonathan would have problems with.
Age of Consent in Kansas: 17
Marriageable Age in Kansas: 18, 16 with parental consent.
Sam would go ballistic! There is no way either Sam or Ellen would agree to the marriage. And Sam and Ellen both would have Clark up on Statutory Rape charges faster than Clark could fly!
And this may be a DUH realization, but I think I have figured out why the kid needs to be 10. That is the age the Clark began to notice things and this would cause that additional tension that QotC wanted, I think.
The easiest way around this is to either move the start time of the series to two to three years later, or, make Lois and Clark born two to three years earlier.
Coming from a rural community, I can tell you LOTS of seniors get married within a month of graduation simply because they don't want to wait any longer and not because they found out they were pregnant.
