So you think the government should pass a law saying that all marriage partners have to have an age difference below some set number even though both of them consent to the marriage? What should that number be IYHO? If you are not going to put that restriction on monogamous marriages, what right is there to put it on plural ones?

A child can not consent to a marriage. I find it very sad that while you Mormons keep saying you no longer believe in men being able to abuse woman and children in plural marriages, you are all defending it here.

14 year olds can legaly marry where I am right now. It's a fact that people did marry younger (and die younger) 200 years ago then they do today, and that must be taken into account.
