Mating, both natural and artificial, can be chemically broken. In this situation, since both Jade and Tori are minors, the responsible alpha has the final decision on whether or not the mating will stand, i.e. Jade's dad.
If Jade was of age and Tori wasn't, Jade's opinion would be consulted, but Tori's father would have the deciding vote, since he would become the responsible alpha in the situation. He would probably find the concept of natural mating romantic, and leave it up to them. But he also gains a certain amount of power over Jade. When Tori comes of age, it goes to her.
If Tori was of age and Jade wasn't, Jade's father would be able to sue for damages, and avoid prosecution for taking Tori's head off. :) He would not find natural mating romantic.
If they were both of age, then Tori would become Jade's responsible alpha, and Jade's father couldn't get away with killing her.
(If I actually write a section of the legal code for this world, it's your fault. :) )
