Campaign to end child marriage in the U.S. runs into some surprising opposition
[link to www.cbsnews.com (secure)]

In 87% of child marriages, the minor is a girl; 86% of the time she is marrying a legal adult. Based on these numbers, advocates argue that the vast majority of marriages with minors would otherwise constitute statutory rape.

"In 38 states, what would otherwise be considered felony rape becomes completely legal once a marriage license is handed out," said Fraidy Reiss, the founder and executive director of Unchained at Last, an advocacy group dedicated to ending forced and child marriage in the United States. Sexual predators have an incentive to marry their victims in order to avoid prosecution and possible jail time. "We're creating a mockery of statutory rape laws," Reiss said.

California has since amended its laws. In 2017, state Senator Jerry Hill, a Democrat, introduced legislation to ban marriage under 18 without exception.

But he was met by opposition, surprisingly, from groups traditionally associated with the left. The ACLU Northern California chapters, along with the Children's Law Center of California, opposed the bill, claiming estimates of the scale of the problem were overblown.

... While there are stricter protocols for court oversight, a minor of any age can still marry in California.

Re: Campaign to end child marriage in the U.S. runs into some surprising opposition
See, this is nonsense. Historically people married as young as 14-16. But who they married might be also 14-16 or older. In some marriages, say the teen girl wife to be is 14 and the husband is 18. Is that wrong? Defend why that is wrong. What about 19? What about 20?

As marriage is a legal contract, and most states don't allow teens of a certain age to sign legal contracts, they must have a guardian who will co-sign their permission. That was the tactics for signing up as a soldier and likewise for marriage. A parent could therefore refuse to sign to prevent the marriage.

Similarly, a parent could have the other party arrested for statutory rape in cases where their daughter had been seduced. That has been very muddied in some states where morality has been thrown out the window.

Young people in history were considered "adults" based upon what ancestral skills they could do and thus determine maturity. Now we have 30 year olds who are less mature in terms of skills than 15 year olds who were pioneers.

Then you have the medical argument. Some are too young for pregnancy and so, both the teen and offspring are at risk.

Unless you define all of these aspects and more,then it's a pointless discussion.

As a young person can't get any decent job without a GED, unlike history where some were apprenticed or were sheltered on farms by say the husband's parents, thus should an educational requirement be considered. That is legally problematic as there are 21 year olds lacking GEDs.

Then now with the kooks, there are homosexuals, and since these are civil unions, not marriages, then what the legal ramifications is two 16 year old lesbians want to marry?

Then consider the bizarre aspects like a Muslim foreigner essentially buys a very young teen in Somalia, then wants to immigrate to America. He's 30. What has to be done legally and if the authorities say no, he claims religious and cultural discrimination. Or he then abandons the Somalian marriage contract and she therefore is in a nebulous zone where she is married by virtue of Somalia but it's not allowed in America, but then no Muslim will ever marry her.

Or say the girl is Hindu and from India and is the niece of the groom as uncle-niece marriages are allowed there, which is strictly forbidden in America, as you can only marry second cousins or even more removed.

Re: Campaign to end child marriage in the U.S. runs into some surprising opposition
There is literally nothing in the US Constitution that allows the government to issue marriage licenses. Next the government will issue baptism licenses. How insane. How about friendship licenses?

Nuts. Clearly a marriage is a natural right and limiting it is a violation of the Tenth Amendment.

You hear child marriage and then immediately they are discussing older teens who historically were not even called teens as that term was nonexistent until 1920 and among the idle rich and not in general use until 1940.

Get the government out of our bedrooms. Did you ancestors have marriage licenses? Nope. Most marriage licenses began to limit interracial marriage and that was seldom a thing in American history in any numbers. Yep,initially some pioneers guys moved to the colonies and frontier and they married Native Americans and Mexicanas but most people married people just like them. And it was not with dubious permission slips from the state governments. Heck, many areas were just US territories!

ISLAM WAS BANNED FROM THE USA IN 1952 but the Dems don't want you to know that, nor does The Deep State respect or uphold US law.

The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization and nationality for the United States.

That Act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of aliens to the US and remains in effect today.

Among the many issues it covers, one in particular found in Chapter 2, Section 212, is the prohibition of entry in to the US if the alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by force, violence or by other unconstitutional means."

This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States but this law is being ignored by the White House.

Islamic immigration to the United States would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam which is antithethical to the United States government, the Constitution and to the Republic.

All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life's guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government.

Now the politically correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the United States because Islam is a 'religion.'

Whether it is a 'religion' is immaterial because the law states that aliens who are affiliated with any organization that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited.

Re: Campaign to end child marriage in the U.S. runs into some surprising opposition
I'm conflicted on this. I think it's insane to get married so young. Young people are driven insane by their hormones, immature, & too stubborn to see it (been there, done that). I had a sweetheart as a teenager into my 20s, & nearly married her. It would have been the most ruinous mistake of my life had I gone forward with it.

But, at the same time, I don't like government imposing laws on anyone. However, maybe this isn't such a bad thing. Just not sure.

From OP's post, it sounds like this law is to stop teens from marrying in general (under age 18). I don't see how this is an issue of underage people marrying overage people (unless I'm missing something here). Separate issue.

This contract law provision is the same reason a 16 year old cannot buy a car on time with a contract. Similarly, most states have a window in which contracts can be nullified, often three business days.

This is used in cases of impairment by multiple means to prevent such contracts.

All the longest marriages began when the girl was a teen

Currently, the record in Texas is 82 years. She was 14 and he was 17 when they married

Watch a video of them. They are still very much in love.
