    States are moving to raise the minimum age to marry. They're concerned about sex trafficking and children being forced to marry against their wills.https://nyti.ms/2L9GHRF

        You would think in the United States of America, they would already have laws on the books againest this kind of stuff. In Florida they will write you a 50 dollar ticket for fishing with out a licence. But it OK to marry a child. Blows my mind how dumb our elected officials are.

        According to a Frontline investigation, between 2000 and 2015, over 200,000 minors were married in America. Nearly 90 percent of the minors in those underage marriages were girls.

        I have no problem whatsoever with 18 being the age states elect to grant marrage.... as long as there is no Sharia Law loophole. That's right! :)

        Age to marry should be age of majority. No exceptions.

        This shows this giant misstep between words and deeds in this nation. It is outragous that someone would be unable to consent to sex(statutory rape), but be able to consent to marriage, which implies sex.

        Great idea,they should raise the age to 18 years old and have a high school education, and in all those southern republican states they should outlaw men marrying their sisters and cousins.

        I am one hundred percent for this! It is wrong to have to get "parental consent" to marry someone. The parents are wrong and the pervert is absolutely wrong. You're marrying a child. That's always wrong. Marry a god damn adult like a normal person.

        Children shouldn't marry each other either. Let kids be kids.
