I almost afraid to ask this question but, what was the marriageable age for women in 1979 Alabama?Why would you be afraid to ask? The age of consent is a modern construct. And by modern, I mean late 19th century - delivered by the same folks who gave us alcohol prohibition. The traditional age of consent was more or less puberty, as reflected in traditions such as bar and bat mitzvahs and quinceaneras.

Yeah well, smile when you say delivered by the same folks who gave us alcohol prohibition, because you are describing my grandmother. She was a staunch member of the WCTU.

When you say, “delivered by the same folks who gave us alcohol prohibition”, is that your slick way of trying to discredit age of consent laws? Plus, why would you find them the least bit problematic unless you were a Muslim, NAMBLA member, or other assorted cretin?
