Child Marriage In America: Girls 12 Can Get Married To Older Men! by NadinePost(f): 12:47am On Apr 12, 2016
The general perception is minor marriage is illegal and people get freak out when someone young is involved, but the law prove them wrong. In some US states the age is as low as 12 for girls and 14 for boys,in the UK it is 16.

The issue of minor marriage can only be heard in developing countries, afterall, in developing countries is common for girls to get married before the age of 18, and international human rights advocates focus on liberating underage girls who are being coerced into marriage, whereas the problem is right next door.

When Man, 65, marries 12-year-old in Times Square for social experiment – people get really angry! Why the anger and curses when the law says child bride is legal cheesy grin tongue

OP yourself what are you promoting abi saying now Have you ever seen one,of those child brides close up It's a pitiful sight because that's not the best thing that could have happened to that child at that stage of her life. At least she can have university education or equivalent,then marriage afterwards
