    >Currently, Wyoming is one of just eight states in the country—including
    California, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Washington and
    West Virginia—without a minimum age requirement for marriage, and it
    currently ranks among the top ten states in the country for child
    marriages, according to a 2021 study by advocacy group Unchained at
    Last.

    I don’t know what everyone is upset about, George Jetson was 25 and Jane was 16 when they got married, and that was the future!

    What a dilemma? Oppose government regulation or protect early-teenage girls.

    I don’t believe I’m able to parse legalese, so I’ll be providing a link to the source, but it’s short and seems really straight forward.

    You can’t marry a 16 year old, and if you married under 16 you can void your marriage.

    Aren’t the Republicans the ones screaming and yelling about pedophiles all the time? Maybe they think once you marry a child it’s not pedo anymore.
