Samantha Bee had a bit about minors getting married ("Fucked up but still legal") on her Full Frontal show last week.
After watching this segment, I thought I would check out the age of consent to marry in the 50 states. I was surprised to see that the majority of states (30) still have sixteen as the age of consent to marry. According to this web site, in Kansas and Massachusetts, with parental consent and/or the consent of a judge, males can marry at age fourteen and females at age twelve. Twelve? That's just creepy. Besides, why do they allow females to marry at an earlier age than males?
In most states a person can marry at an earlier age "by reason of pregnancy". Isn't that sweet? No.

Via Planned Parenthood, here is each state's Parental Consent and Notification Laws (for purpose of a minor obtaining an abortion).
Excerpt of particular interest to us:
*
So in the related matter that is the subject of this thread, via Pew Research Center (November 2016), here are data on the incidence of child marriage in each state.
Nationally, nearly five in 1,000 girls ages 15 to 17 are married, the study says, but that rate varies by state.
Another excerpt of particular interest to us:
A U. S. map part of this article depicts the Tennessee rate at 5.5 per 1,000 (higher than the national rate of 4.6) and the Texas rate at 6.9 per 1,000 (highest in the nation).
Texas, you'll recall, recently saw its state-level curtailment of abortion rights struck down by the SCOTUS.
