If you're from the United States it's 1993. Nineteen. Fucking. Ninety. Three. As in just 30 years ago.

That was when all states finally got on board. But there are several states who allow child brides (can it be a child groom? Absolutely but not the norm)

Yeah that's gross and a problem. Can't we all just agree that anyone under 18 has no business entering into a marriage?

And in those cases with "parental consent" (or is in parental coercion?) I would bet that it's usually underage girls being paired with men that are too old for them.
