Wait, are you saying that the current reasons for marriage age laws don't do that already? I'm just cosigning with them.
This thread is now about the question: "Would the USA be in a better place today, politically speaking, if the CSA was allowed to leave the union?"
Just as Planned.
No, current marriage laws do not define marriage between and 18-year-old and a 50-year-old as "wrong". Try again.

You asked why I thought it was wrong. I said that I believe it is wrong for the same exact reasons why the marriage laws prevent marriage between a 17 year old and a 50 year old. That 18 year old is just as mature, just as in "danger" and just as much inexperienced than s/he was 60 seconds prior to his/her birthday.
If you believe otherwise, please provide to me this magical difference that happens INSIDE the person within that 60 second period. OR, you can just admit that there is no internal difference with that individual and society just decided to choose that age because it coincides with most of our other laws.
I don't think it is wrong for a 17 year old to marry someone older. He or she would need parental consent in many states.
You've only defined the difference between legal and illegal, not right and wrong. I'm specifically interested in your use of the word "wrong".

"Magic changes" strawman arguments aside, it's not necessarily illegal for a 17 year old to marry a 50 year old anyway.

I think "parental consent" largely covered that, but thanks!

I did not know that. So, there really is no excuse for his laziness. Gotcha!

You're hiding behind the law. Do you or do you not think it's wrong for a minor to marry an adult regardless of the law? Or do you believe it's ok for minors to marry adults only if there's parental approval? Is there a restriction to that parental approval? Do you support a 12 year old getting married with parental approval?

Let's try this again. You asked me why I think it's WRONG for an 18 year old to marry a 50 year old. I said I believe it is WRONG for the SAME reasons why the law says its wrong for a 17 year old and a 50 year old to marry. It's wrong because there is no difference between someone who is 17 years, 11 months, 30 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes old and an 18 year old.
Since you support the current laws, only if you believe that there is a difference between the two can you argue that I haven't provided a reason on why it is WRONG.

So, you believe it is ok for each state to have their own restrictions on what age can marry and if they need approval to marry? In other words, it doesn't bother you that some minors can't get married even in states that allow parental approval because of their age, i.e. 13,14 or 15?

I'm not the one hiding behind the law. As far as I'm concerned, if a minor wants to marry and his or her parents agree that he or she is mature enough to make that choice, there's no problem. An 18-year-old, of course is free to marry.
What I want to know is why you think an age discrepancy is immoral, or unethical, or otherwise wrong absent a legal reason.

Anna Nicole Smith was unethical.
#168Almalieque,
Posted: Aug 25 2012 at 3:43 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) That's what I thought. So, you accept the fact that there are US marriage laws that prevent people from marrying regardless if parts of society believes it is "ok" or not? Furthermore, you approve of the ability of each state to make that deciding factor?

I never said that two people had to be the same age in order to marry.

As Alma's legal counsel and beat poet, I'll field this one.
In the slums of Kohlsberg, where Alma resides,
A man who is good is a man who abides;
By the law, that wonderful thing;
To break the law is an ethical sin.
An Alma being what an Alma must be,
He abides to this deontology:
Basic indeed - Do not be deceived:
Your question transgresses what is believed.
An answer he cannot conceive.
