Ya'llniggas is wild ignant, and need to read and know the law.
Imma leave this here. If you respond to this, have a point or some intelligent shit to say.
Child marriage in the United States refers to a marriage in the United States where at least one party is under the age of 18.
Between 2000 and 2015, over 200,000 minors were legally married in the United States. The vast majority of child marriages were between a child and an adult. The majority of married children were girls.
In the United States, marriage age laws are set by the various states, territories and federal district. As of January 2019, 48 out of 50 states have exceptions in their laws which allow children to marry in certain circumstances such as parental consent, judicial consent, pregnancy etc (In 2018, Delaware and New Jersey completely banned child marriage). Of those 48 states, 17 have no minimum age for children to marry. The federal district and territories all have similar legal exceptions which allow children to marry, except for American Samoa.
From 2016-2019, 12 states raised their minimum age for minors to marry, or added a minimum age when they previously did not have one.
In many cases, minors in the US are married when they are under the age of sexual consent in their area (which ranges from 16 to 18). In some areas minors cannot legally divorce, leave their spouse, or enter a shelter to escape abuse. In 2001 in Tennessee, three 10-year-old girls were married to men aged 24-31. Meanwhile in Alabama, a 74-year-old man married a 14-year-old girl. Both states have since set minimum ages, of 17 and 16 respectively.
