My currently living uncle was born when my Grandma was 15 and married.
Just sayin’.
The law made SENSE when we only lived to the ripe old age of 30 - after we popped out a few dozen kids; half of which MIGHT have lived!
Oh, no! Now some LibTard will compare MY comparison to Musket Loaders & AR-15’s and we’ll be off to the races! *SMIRK*
At 14 I would’ve married Donnie Osmond or David Cassidy. 14 year old girls today are dopes; 17 year old boys are even dumber.
I worked with a guy in Western North Carolina. He was a great guy I liked him as well as anyone I have ever known.
One day we were discussing beautiful girls and he happened to mention that he and his wife were married when she was 12 and he was 18. They had been married nearly 40 years.
My older Brother married a 16 year old in Alabama. They had a tough time for the first few years but eventually became comfortable and lived in an old mansion which they restored.
They were a very handsome couple thus not surprising that their four Daughters and one Son were too. Two of their Daughters were queens of their respective universities and I always thought the youngest one was the prettiest of all.
They are now buried beside each other near here.

My wife and I were married in Alabama.
I was 18 and she was 19.
I thought it was funny that my wife could get married at 19 without her parent’s permission, but I had to have my parent’s permission since I wasn’t yet 21.
Oh, as of this past September, we’ve been married 50 years.
In 1989 a 13 year old could married in Utah with parental consent.
This is just a misguided attempt to brand all Alabamians as backward neandrathals prior to Moore’s election tomorrow. Truly disgusting piece of urinalism.
my aunt and uncle in Iowa were 16 and 15 respectively... if both are roughly the same age then its not that big a deal.
The creepy factor is one is MUCH older than the other.. like 30 to 15... for me at least.
Married 70 years this past Nov...
Sure and the thousands of underage minority kids not even
bothering to be married having kids is just a cultural norm
One of my best friends in HS married at 17. Her husband was young too. Within the his parents died and the adopted his three younger siblings.
The same people who push to change these parental consent laws scoff at abstinence education as impractical, promote teen sexual promiscuity, and also believe these minors should be able to consent to abortions without parental consent.
There are some bad parents, but the state is not better at raising children. We, as a society, must support the role of parents in such matters, and do more to help marriages to succeed.
I’m actually in favor of outlawing marriage before the age of 30! (ok...not really)
Even though I married at 23 (41 years this Jan) I’ve seen marriages go bad due to impulse and bad judgement. Got a beautiful granddaughter to prove it...but she lives with me.
Why change the law now when some states are sliding toward Sharia law where apparently six-year-olds can marry?
After all Aisha married Mohammed when she was six. According to the Koran that is just fine.
My wife and I have been with each other for 30 years. I was 31 and she was 17 when we met.
By the way, she hit upon me the first time we met.
However, the moment my I set eyes on her I was in live.
30 years later we are still as much in love as the day we met.
What age can Girls get Abortions without their Parents being told in Blue States, 12? Just askin’...
Alabama brides year age 14 age 15 1995 100 232 1999 63 186
The population of Alabama today is about 4.8 million. The issue of young brides in Alabama would appear to be a problem that is small and getting smaller quite rapidly. Perhaps it doesn't take a village to decide what is best for the young women of Alabama.
These days, anyone who ever did some necking is a “sexual predator”....
Not just a “south” thing:
