Well tbf, even though it's strictly banned in China there are still some cases of it happening in rural areas.

We tried banning it but failed. My girlfriend was a teenager married to a marine when she was 17

Why the fuck you marrying 17 yos

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Was probably in her past, ie not 17 anymore when they got together.

Ah my bad, this thread got me on edge.

But in the US it's legal. In a bunch of states all you need is parental consent for a teen barely out of puberty to marry an adult, and some will lower the age if the child is already pregnant.

Yall ever seen the documentary series, keep sweet, pray, and obey? Pretty terrifying that the US allows these evangelical child sex cults to exist.

Huh. In California the legal minimum is 0?

Also are these map colors impossible to read correctly on your screen or is it just me?
