About 300,000 children and teens were legally married in the United States between 2000 and 2018, according to data from Unchained at Last, a nonprofit that works to help women and girls in forced marriages.

Laws prohibiting minors to marry have struggled to pass. Only 10 states have a law prohibiting people under 18 from marrying.

Pushback to setting 18 as a minimum age for marriage comes from both conservative and progressive groups.

    You’re doing it again. You’re not allowed to presume my stance and attack it.

    Kids exploring their sexuality with each other is fine. Adults exploring kids is not okay. Full fucking stop.

      I think like everything pedophilia is a spectrum. Big difference between a clandestine serial predator like a priest, and a young teacher fucking a high school senior. I’m only against it if it doesn’t make my weiner move.
