So recently I've been watching a lot of Jeopardy! Right now I'm watching this episode where the answer is "In common law, the age of this, signalling adulthood, is presumed to be 14 in boys & 12 in girls."
So a guy, Tom, asks, "What is the age of consent?"
HOLY SHIT!!!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I recalled reading that in some states there are few limits on child marriage with parental consent. This website offers information.

People are getting married as young as 14, still, with parental consent which explains them marrying at 14.

I once worked with a woman who was married at the age of 14. They did not have children, and I think the marriage did not last more than ten years.
@dalefvictor my first brother in law, at 29, married a 14 year old...Alabama, of course. By 18 she had 4 kids & had run off at least 7 times, poor kid. Thankfully she got her tubes tied.......
Man oh man, keep an eye on that one's playmates!
