In ‘Talibama’ a 70 year old man recently legally married a 14 year old girl too. Place is a little strange on this kind of shite.

Recent doesn't include 20 years ago. The state has raised it's age to 16 since then.

Also, 12 year olds can legally marry in Massachusetts. Tennessee has granted multiple licenses to 10 year olds and at least one 11 year old. Louisiana has issued licenses to twelve year olds. Fourteen different states have issued licenses to 13 year olds. All going on more recently.

This isn't peculiar to Alabama. It's happened 200,000 times in states other than Alabama in the same 15 year time frame.

It may be odd, but it's pretty fricking common.


And, for the record, I despise Roy Moore.
