"Looks like a FBI agent would know enough about the law to know that a minor can't enter into a legal contract,and that a abductee doens't have the freedom to make a choice. His use of the word "marriage" "mainstreams" the criminal act committed by the kidnapper. He should have said "Elizabeth became her captors slave",not his wife."

I heard some guy on TV say tonight that 14 year olds in Utah can legally choose and get married.

Not without parental permission,they can't. And this is putting aside the fact that she was a captive without the ability to say "no". You aren't capable of giving permission unless you are capable of denying permission.

Scratch the word "permission",and replace it with "consent".
