When I first moved to Hawaii legal age of marriage was 14 for girls and 16 for guys.
they made it 16 years for girls and guys some time in the early 2000’s.
Hard to believe India is stricter than Banana Republic Hawaii.
I think my wife and I married at age 21 in 1977.
we are the same age for a few months of the year.
Still married.
We made better decisions than our parents did.
My mother had 4 husbands. Glad she didn’t pick out my wife.

My great-grandmother arrived in Connecticut in 1872 from Millstreet, Cork, Ireland at the age of 15. She came with her husband and 2 year-old son.

At age 22, she was a widow with 3 children.

Of course, it's hard to be sure about such things, as they occurred such a long time ago.

I think I may have married at age 23 in 1976, but I'm not sure. It may have been when I was age 25 in 1975.

Long time ago, as I said.

Regards,

Ok, I’ll bite on this apple… why do you “think” you married at 21 and not actually know how old you were? Your post is one that makes a person go, hmmmmm…
