It seems like you overestimate your IQ.

Between 2000 and 2015, these laws made it possible for more than 200,000 minors to marry legally, according to a FRONTLINE analysis of marriage records from 41 states and the largest counties in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. Data was unavailable for California, Georgia, Maine, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.

Almost 90 percent of minors who married were girls. Most of them were 16 or 17 years old. In rare instances, however, children as young as 12 years old were granted marriage licenses in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina.
Only a fraction of these marriages involved two minors. Most of the time, a minor’s spouse was 18, 19 or in his early 20s. Nearly 500 minors were permitted to marry partners in their 40s, 50s and even over 60.

It literally says in your quote most of the time they are marrying an 18 or 19yr old... :rofl:

So two teens with 1,2,3 years apart is your argument that this is to support pedophilia?

Keep on trying to justify pedophilia. It's not a good look son.

It also says nearly 500 were married to people in their 40's to 60's. I guess it's convenient for your argument to leave that detail out.

Yes, prevalence of .25%, with 99.75% not being that. Maybe next time try understanding how rates work so you're not bamboozled by numbers.

So you think a 17 year old having sex with a 19 year old is pedophilia?

1/2 your age +7 is a good rule of thumb. That's besides the point. (age of consent laws vary by state as well)

We're basing this off the letter of the law. You think a law that allows someone that is an adult (could be 18 or could be 70) should allow someone to marry a minor(regardless if she's 12 to 17)? Your argument is that it doesn't happen that often so that makes it ok. Am I missing something?

"Here is a random fact that has nothing do to with what you said and in no way counters your point"

At this point English not being your first language can't be used as an excuse. You literally lack the mental capacity to understand what people are actually saying.


"In practice it mostly applies to religious teens who want to marry and not sin for having sex. " This is what you posted.
Then i pointed out that your "mostly religious marriages" have 80% divorce rate... Unhinged gibberish and personal attack won't help.

99.75% of these cases are of people within a few years of each other. That's not what pedophilia is in the inherent understanding of the idea. In real life the difference between a 17 year old and and 18 year old is basically nothing in maturation or ability to apply sound decision making. You're basically looking at some stake in the ground and using it to try to frame the other side as having some nefarious reasoning and logic for not wanting obtuse and rigid laws. A very cheap and skin deep "gotcha" argument which falls apart when unpacking the true nature of this topic.

The hilarity of this is, people like you hyperventilate about a 19 and 17 year old getting married to have sex while you see nothing wrong when someone like DiCaprio who's 48 is banging 22 year olds.
