What the fuck?
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;53121477]What the fuck?[/QUOTE] Bestiality wasn't illegal in Washington State until 2006. It took the death of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumclaw_horse_sex_case]Mr. Hands[/url] for the state to explicitly outlaw it. Until that time it was just one of those common-sense things. I suspect that there's more things like this that aren't explicitly illegal than one may originally think.
How do you manage to spin "If you're under [age] then you cannot marry" into "and you also can't get aborts"?
Didn't one of the plot elements in "Liar Liar" revolve around there being an age restriction on marriage?? That's what made me think it was a thing.
VICE being garbage as usual, half the states have some minimum age of marriage, usually between 16-17, and most every other state requires parental or judicial consent. Says nothing for statutory rape which afaik happens regardless of marriage or not.

Having actual laws that require the consent of the person marrying aims to fix that, like in the case in Florida. [QUOTE="Wikipedia"]All states allow minors to marry. In most states, children under 16 may be married with parental consent or judicial approval. In 25 states, there is no statutory minimum age if other legal conditions are met.[/QUOTE] Here you have it though. Child marriage is pretty much gonna happen if your parents force you to it. That was kinda the point of the video.
