According to Wiki, the highest teen pregnancy rates are in Niger, where 53% of women have given birth before the age of 18.
The US teen pregnancy rate, which includes the ages of 19 and 19, is 8.6%. Slightly lower than Niger’s. But we do lead the world among “advanced” countries.

How many of those teen mothers in Niger are actually married? Very few of those in the US are.

Acording to Wiki, 87% of women in Niger are married by the age of 18. That's probably a higher percentage than ever get married here.
