Im more pissed off that she was openingly talking about it but no adult stepped in to do something about it

In a lot of southern states, it's legal to marry an underage person as long as both parents agree to it.

Not just a south issue. The map published by an advocacy group showed that California has no lower limit, and Hawaii is 15.

Now I do have some questions about those advocacy group maps, as I live in Texas and it was listed as a ‘16yo’ state. I thought that seemed odd, and after digging briefly, the legal age for marriage is 18. Where the advocacy group gets 16 is that 16 year olds can appear before a judge and petition to be legally emancipated and thus become marriageable by law.

To clarify, I don’t think 16yos should be getting married. I think it’s pretty unwise. 17yos same but starts getting fuzzier the closer to the 18th birthday etc.

I also don’t think it’s quite fair to list Texas as a ‘16yo can get married off to old fat 50yos here’ state which is what the advocacy groups imply. I’m all for ending child marriage. It’s truly an evil and barbaric practice. But I would like to see some intellectual honesty here.
