re: #131 Sol Berdinowitz

All laws that date from the 18th and 19th century. Can anybody in our day and age recommend marriage fo anyone under 18?

Heh, personally I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone under 30.

Seriously though in Puerto Rico it’s 21; 18 if you have parental consent (or a pregnancy is involved).

I’m just saying we freak out over child brides in other countries, then I find out some of our states… *thud* Yeah, I know it probably won’t happen that a 12- or 13-year-old girl’s parents would give consent, but still… Sheesh, why are the laws still on the books then?
