      Did you read the article?

      It specifically mentions that it bans minors from marrying anyone over 21, that means 16-20 4 year max that’s barely shit

      I disagree with their reasoning behind it 100%, but that’s high school level romance.

      Standard Romeo and Juliet law as far as age of consent.

      We also don’t let minors enter into legally binding contracts, so that right there is a good enough reason to ban it, as marriage is essentially just a contract for you to be treated as one entity.

      Both sides have decent arguments, I think that if we say they are old enough to have sex, they should be able to make their relationship “official”, but it should be able to be annulled for no reason for the first, 5 years, 10? Idk.

      Pick an arbitrary number and stick with it, after that it is normal divorce.

      Their kids, treat it like every other thing they do and make it a safe place to fail and gain experience.

      Or don’t, I don’t really care, but I am willing to hear you out on why you don’t think the current laws are right!
