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...

MrMallard 09/22/23 11:25:14 AM #13:	Also - this reminds me of an episode of a Kevin Smith podcast I used to listen to. It was his Batman-centric podcast of all places, because he had established a charity called the Wayne Foundation to help combat the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children in the US. Googling it, it seems like it's been inert since 2018, so I wonder what's up with that. Regardless - and the following content is spoiler-marked for triggering content - he interviewed a woman who he essentially put in charge of the Wayne Foundation. She had been subject to sexual abuse throughout her teenage years, recounting a handful of her abusers. One of them was a man who took her to his place every few months and would like pay her money and buy her nice things, and he'd try to get her pregnant because the law of his state is that if a girl becomes pregnant by a man - including an underage girl - he had the right to marry her and keep her with him as his spouse. I'm pretty sure the woman recounting this story was like fourteen at the time. She never got pregnant to him, and eventually she managed to leave - despite being a pedophile, he at least let her leave when she said she wanted to stop. Years later, when she was around 20 or so, they re-established contact and he was with another young teenager who he had gotten pregnant. ~~The trafficking isn't legal in that state, but once the teenager is knocked up, it's fully legal for a pedophile to get married to them.~~ That's a law in an American state. <cite>MrMallard posted [p:976236791] in Gov.
