Topic	Gov. Whitmer signs law banning child marriage in Michigan.
MrMallard 09/22/23 11:12:23 AM #12:	Yeah, child marriage is still legal in like 38 states or something. I don't know if there's a lower age limit - like clearly there would be, no-one is going to marry a three year old to a thirty three year old - but there is a subset of American teenagers who've been married to adult men and have to balance being a child wife and being a high school junior. 38 states is a rough ballpark guess, all I know is that it's significantly over half of US states - like it doesn't just eke out over the halfway point, it's probably closer to three quarters of the country than half. Even one state with a parental consent loophole for young teens is too much, but the actual number is beyond shocking all things considered. <cite>MrMallard posted [p:976236567] in Gov. Whitm...
