Okay i don’t want to shit on your parenting here but that is certainly something to have happen at age 17. Unfortunate that the kids felt not comfortable asking for or obtaining protection themselves.
Thing is, it wasn’t an accident. The boyfriend’s family is wealthy, so their line of thinking was: “There’s money, why not be young parents? It’s so romantic.”
Because you’ve got about as good of odds to have a good and lasting relationship at that age as you do of winning a large lottery sum.
It’s a stupid gamble.
He can just bail and pay child support when it gets difficult, she’ll be saddled with raising the kid - or just as likely OP will end up with the kid most of the time while she fucks off and does whatever. Party, school, or work. Even if they stay together she’s just a (maybe) high school graduate beholden to the guy and the family money. She’s property. That’s what the odds vastly favor.
Anything else is wishful thinking, what might happen. Hey, I hope I’m wrong, but these two are already idiots if this is as far as their thought processes went. “Just live off the family money and bang out a kid…” is stupid.
This sounds like unplanned parenthood and it’s especially awful for teenager, and can be extra wrecking for OP’s daughter. There’s always stress involved when raising kids. OP’s infuriated probably because he know their mindset haven’t mature yet, and his daugher will get the short end of the stick if the marriage doesn’t worked out since the inlaw is rich.

And… They didn’t communicate this with you beforehand?
Holy shit, that takes this post to another level.
Good luck to everyone involved.
Sounds great, what’s the problem?

Is that you, every republican lawmaker?
