They should but they won’t. Stupidity sells

Fun fact- the recent bill they tried to push was aimed at banning gay marriage. It was detailed so heavily towards lgbtq bigotry that they didn’t pay attention to the age of consent between a man and a woman. And it led to backlash. It was amended to 18, but only after it became a threat to political power.

I would know this since I live in the state.

The author of the bill literally stated that it doesn't have an age limit.

The bill was designed to allow for a certain type of marriage contract ONLY available to heterosexual couples. That treats same-sex couples unfairly so it's an unconstitutional law

And if so it will be ruled as such. That is how our separation of powers are suppose to work.

For a party that preaches about states rights, that’s a piss poor excuse for piss poor bill writing.

It got raised to 18 in NY this year after being signed into law in 2021 by Cuomo.

A surprising number of states have no minimum marriage age on the books. And as seen with the other map, your "18 a above assertion" is total bunk.

Do look things up.

Oh, that's right, you did after seeing this, didn't you?

I believe you are the one mistake. Use authenticated authoritative sources. Absent parent consent and/ court adjudication 18 is the minimum age. Sorry, just saying it is true does not make it true.

Tell ya what, you disprove it and I'll have all those under 18 marriages annulled.

18 isn't even the age of consent for sex in quite a few states.

Do try again.
On second thought, let's stop wasting my time on that which you do not know, shall we?

Boy, that was a quick surrender. It is admirable to admit defeat.

Your surrender and admitted defeat are duly noted.

Facts don't lie. You should try it sometime. Saves a lot of time and cuts out the partisan hack tp fluff and silliness.

I did not know that dyslexia rearranged the actual meaning of words. Must be tough.

Interesting fact: Marriage under the age of 18 requires parental consent in all states.

That's not exactly the exonerating detail you think it is. There are some things parents shouldn't be able to consent to for their minor children.

I do not disagree with your premise. However, on marriage, the law still sets a limit on minimum age even with parental consent. Absent mitigating circumstance, I'll take parental consent over government mandates any day.
