I have a question for Megyn Kelly. Grown ass men having sex with 15 yr olds is not legal anywhere in the USA

So did your friend who knows all about it, bother to report this crime? Who is your friend that knows all about this?
Shouldn't the DOJ have a talk with your friend to find out exactly what he knows?

19: Nebraska
21: Mississippi
18: All other states

16 states (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington) do not allow underage marriage under any circumstances.

The other states allow an underage person to marry in the following circumstances - If one or more of the following apply:
-consent of the parents or legal guardians of the minor
-consent of a court clerk or judge
-if the minor is emancipated.

Most states still have a minimum age even with parental permission
-4 states have no official minimum age, but still require either parental consent, court approval or both: California, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
-2 states have a minimum age of 15: Hawaii and Kansas.
-20 states have a minimum age of 16.
-8 states have a minimum age of 17.

However, many states have been revisiting and raising their marriage age laws recently. Since 2017, Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Arizona, Delaware, Tennessee, New Jersey, Missouri & Ohio have changed their law to set or raise their minimum legal age for marriage.

California apparently has no minimum with parental consent, surprised by that. Massachusetts it’s 14 with parental consent! Shame on you, blue states. 15 year olds with parental consent sent can still be married in Hawaii, Mississippi, Kansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma but as you noted, the laws have been changing recently.

Massachusetts now bans ALL marriage for persons under age 18.

Massachusetts Becomes the 7th State to End Child Marriage
July 28th, 2022
Today, Governor Charlie Baker signed a law that raises the legal age for marriage to 18 with no exceptions, ultimately ending child marriage in Massachusetts. This is a huge win for survivors and advocates that have been arduously working to ban laws that allow child marriage in the United States. The state of Massachusetts will now protect children from being forced or coerced into a legally binding contract that strips away any protection and rights they have as single minors. According to state records, 1,246 children as young as 14 were married in Massachusetts between 2000 and 2018 and 89.9 percent of them were girls wed to adult men. In 2020 alone, 14 petitions were filed for the marriage of minors to adults in the Commonwealth.

“This is a huge win for children in Massachusetts, which is now the 7th state to end child marriage by setting a minimum age of 18, no exceptions,” said Alex Goyette, Senior Public Policy Associate at the Tahirih Justice Center. “With this law Massachusetts has gone from one of the least protective states in the country, setting no minimum marriage age by statute, to a true leader in the movement to end child marriage. This progress is a testament to the years of hard work done by advocates, legislators, and most importantly survivors, and sends a message to every other state that now is the time to end child marriage.”

We are grateful to state Rep. Kay Khan and state Sen. Harriette Chandler for championing the bill since it was initially introduced back in 2017. We also applaud the relentless advocacy efforts from survivors and supporting organizations that fought alongside Tahirih since day 1.

We hope that Massachusetts will encourage the other 43 states that currently allow child marriage to follow suit and move swiftly to ban these laws that place children in dangerous situations.
