      The exceptions in the law:

      If the child is pregnant

      If a judge okays it

      If the parents okay it

      Nothing wrong with this picture, nope, nope, nope. No abuse could possibly happen with this setup.

        Oh most of those states don’t even require a pregnancy. Just for the adults in the situation to approve of it. Technically the kid too but that’s probably the easiest part.

        What’s amazing to me is the absolute caterwauling from grown men in the Republican party when you suggest you should have to be 18 to get married. Like that 75 year old guy is worried he won’t be able to marry a high school girl.
