Does it surprise you that red states have the highest proportion of child marriages?


Kind of ironic the top states for child marriages are in RED STATES when QAnon accused liberals of being PEDOPHILES and are in secret child trafficking rings.

North Carolina is set to pass a law raising the minimum age that people can get married from 14 to 16 and will also ban 16 y/o's from marrying anyone older than 20!!

Teens will need parental permission or a judge's decision that marriage would serve the best interest of an underage party as 6 states have banned it altogether but change has been slow in this state where some are convinced that certain marriages involving children are acceptable

Republican Vickie Sawyer says "It's a generational divide. It was older members, both Democrats and Republicans that had those personal stories of family members who had been married and it turned out OK"

2/3 of marriage applications in Buncombe County last year were filed by non residents seeking to marry an underage person as Drew Reisinger noted that a 49 y/o man was marrying a 17 y/o girl who came from KENTUCKY to get married.

He said the county is a hot desintation for older man who want to marry child brides from nearby states such as Georgia, Kentucky, South Carolina and Tennessee all of which who raised the age in recent years....

North Carolina is one of the friendliest states for this that gives them a safe haven

It is one of only 14 that allow children under 16 to get married as 9 of those states doesn't even have a minimum age

Almost all of the US allows some form of child marriage except Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Rhode Island.

Alaska is the only other state whose law expressly allows marriages as young as 14

Rep. Kristin Baker a conservative Christian also helped sponsor this bill who says is a strong supporter of the sacrament of marriage but as a child psychiatrist is determined to protect vulnerable youth by raising the age

Democrat Roy Cooper is expected to sign the bill once it passes the senate as New York was most recently who banned marriages under 18

Does it surprise you that Red States have the highest proportion of child marriages?

https://www.wf-lawyers.com/divorce-statistics-and-facts/
48 percent of those who marry before the age of 18 are likely to divorce within 10 years, compared to 25 percent of those who marry after the age of 25.

There's no need to rush into marriage IMO.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_age_in_the_United_States

I think the minimum marriage age with Parental Consent & Judicial Consent should be bumped up to 18 at a Federal Level and apply it Nation Wide.

The regular/unrestricted Marriage Age should be bumped up 20.

they'd have to change a bunch of age limits, most important military enlistment, so that would never pass.

Marriage Age should have no affect on military enlistment.

Those are completely seperate issues.

They aren't. If you can legally decide to go and kill or be killed for your government you damn well better have the right to decide if you can get married.
Why should those things even be related, at all?

We have seperate age laws for drinking, for smoking, for renting cars.

Still a consent form to participate in a basic activity like Car rental.

The age as to where that matters can be moved Up/Dn as needed by Federal Laws.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_majority

Age of Majority in most of the US is 18 y/o in all of the US with 2x exceptions.

The Age of Majority would be 21 if you're in Mississippi or Puerto Rico.

Literally the top 20 are all red states, or have red leaning legislatures.

Why do Republicans like marrying and fucking kids so much?
