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.
Congratulations.
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...
It was how young women were provided for in the era of sharecropping. To not havevallowed it, at the time, would have made things much worse.

My mom’s from western Carolina. My aunt and her boyfriend at the ripe old ages of 15 & 16 respectively were married about 63 years ago and going strong. (She makes the world’s best beef stew and biscuits on her old wood stove.)
Lordy,beef stew and biscuits——I’d kill for some right now.
My kind of food.

Could somebody please delete the last three comments. It happened because my wifi can be iffy at times.
I mean really? The last time people live to the age of 30 was probably 1000 years ago.
It’s a 2001 article, shows state of affairs at that time.
My Mother cooked on a wood stove for maybe the first 15 years they were married.
She once told me that it cooked better than any other one she has used. I later read that they do indeed cook better because they are cast iron and heat much more evenly.
