I don’t get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

    Shower thought: maybe there should be an age / 2 + 7 law for marriage, with the minimum age of the youngest involved in the marriage being 18.

    Then you don’t get any of that 50 yo people marrying 18 year olds anymore. Instead, those would have to look at 32 years.

      Well, that’s just a rule of general not-being-a-creep. I think a better law is: No one can consent to marriage (or sex) for someone else, ever, including parents.

        It seems pretty obvious: if you can’t sign a legally binding contract, you can’t sign a marriage contract.
