When at least one of the marriage partners is under the general marriage age, the marriage is considered underage. Sixteen states completely ban underage marriage: Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Michigan,[2] Rhode Island, Washington,[3] Virginia,[4] New Hampshire,[5] Maine,[6] Oregon,[7] and Missouri.[8] The other states may require the underage partner to obtain either parental consent, judicial authorization, or both, or rely on "exceptional circumstances". The minimum underage marriage age, when all mitigating circumstances are taken into account, commonly ranges from 15 to 17. Five states do not allow a person over 21 to marry an underage person. As of April 2024, four US states do not set any minimum age for marriage.[9]

Here's another tidbit:

Georgia raised its age of consent from 14 to 16 in 1995 as did Hawaii in 2001. Colorado lowered its age of consent to 15 in 1971, after it lowered the age of majority from 21 to 18 years.

So....

It continued I to the 90s like Azeala said, and I agreed...

Right?

Like, you're saying legality and ethics goes hand in hand, and this shows that it was legal in some places, so following your logic, it was also ethical in those places until the laws change

Because if not I legitimately don't even understand what point you're trying to make.
