Halo478 10/24/17 6:27:12 PM #1:	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erRrF8YWGd4 Angel was 13 when her mother forced her to marry and start a family. "I felt like a slave," she says of her childhood. While countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi and El Salvador have recently banned child marriage, it remains legal in the US - and half of states have no set minimum age below which you cannot get married. I cant believe this is happening in the us of all places. <cite>Halo478 posted [p:889070904] in Why does t...

eston 10/24/17 6:30:28 PM #3:	It's always been my understanding that someone under 18 needs parental consent to get married, but I honestly just assumed the other end of that (parents forcing minors to get married) was illegal in the U.S. --- http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/estonc/grizzly_bear_chairs_2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8kjZU.jpg <cite>eston posted [p:889071098] in Why does t...

TheVipaGTS 10/24/17 11:33:18 PM #13:	a few places tried to ban it earlier this year and for some reason there were people against it.
