It’s illegal for a minor to marry anyone over 21, as far as I can tell, all this does is make it so highschool sweethearts can’t get married, which is whatever.
I don’t care about people within 4 or 5 years of each other getting married, this whole thing seems like a waste of time and money
It specifically mentions that it bans minors from marrying anyone over 21, that means 16-20 4 year max that’s barely shit
I disagree with their reasoning behind it 100%, but that’s high school level romance.
Standard Romeo and Juliet law as far as age of consent.
We also don’t let minors enter into legally binding contracts, so that right there is a good enough reason to ban it, as marriage is essentially just a contract for you to be treated as one entity.
Both sides have decent arguments, I think that if we say they are old enough to have sex, they should be able to make their relationship “official”, but it should be able to be annulled for no reason for the first, 5 years, 10? Idk.
Pick an arbitrary number and stick with it, after that it is normal divorce.
Their kids, treat it like every other thing they do and make it a safe place to fail and gain experience.
Or don’t, I don’t really care, but I am willing to hear you out on why you don’t think the current laws are right!

No it means they have to wait until both are at the age of majority.
Ok that’s fine too, I don’t really care that much about it, we don’t let them enter into legal contracts anyway.
