Why does the US have so many child brides?

Angel was 13 when her mother forced her to marry and start a family. "I felt like a slave," she says of her childhood.

While countries like Zimbabwe, Malawi and El Salvador have recently banned child marriage, it remains legal in the US - and half of states have no set minimum age below which you cannot get married.

 

There's nothing harder for people to do than admit they were fooled.

I've only heard of this happening on Mormon compounds, but I thought those unions weren't legal just like the ones with multiple wives.

I didn't know it was actually legal to get married that young.

Why is everyone surprised? :sweat: the age of consent in the US is waaay lower with parental approval. It differs by state though I'm sure. One of my friends was married at 14, I would've been shocked if forced marriages weren't a thing here honestly.

They should make the age of consent 18 regardless of parents' approval or not.

Whimsical bitch

You can at 14 with parental consent.
