Child marriage is currently legal in 38 US states(only Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont have set the minimum age at 18 and eliminated all exceptions), and 20 states do not require any minimum age for marriage, with only parental consent or judicial approval needed. Nearly 300,000 children were married in the U.S. between 2000 and 2018. The vast majority were girls from deeply religious, white, christian families/communities being wed to adult men, often much older than the girls involved. Then there is the preceding CSA that occurs in a high proportion of child marriages, were children are forced(by their parents) to marry their rapists/abusers, so as not to bring shame on their family(which also means that their abusers go unpunished ![]() There is new hope for victims of such abuses though, even in historic cases such as this one. |

Weird how you only ever seem to hear about religious people being involved in sh*t like this, it doesn't seem to matter much what the religion is particularly. I suppose it could have something to do with the example being set by some of the primary characters in their ''holy'' story books, like the ''virgin'' Mary(''miraculously knocked up at age 12/13) or her husband Joseph(in his late 70's ![]() ![]() |

Yeah, people tend to associate this stuff mainly to Islam even though it happens a lot elsewhere too.

Very sad to hear. There should be proper discernment before getting married. A young lady still has a lot of things to explore in life, to learn in life. Freedom shouldn't be stolen from them. But we can't do anything about it , if that's their law.

Also their biological growth is not really ready before 18, or even 21. (Those 3 years make a big difference in mental growth too like any jumps before that.) I support the legal age for various adult things to be at 21. I'm not a conservative person. I'm a realist and a ''spoilsport'' according to some 19 year old boozers lol

I agree that 21 should be the age for alcohol/drugs/sex

I think the legal age to drive should be 21 too. So many tragic cases of teens being killed and killing their passengers due to driving in a crazy manner. |
