Hardly surprising in the land where the Epstein files remain redacted and 70 million people voted, not once but three times for a pedophile and convicted sex offender!
I live in Nevada. Following is the Nevada Revised Statutes regarding marriage:
NRS 122.020 Persons capable of marriage.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2 and NRS 122.025, two persons, regardless of gender, who are at least 18 years of age, not nearer of kin than second cousins or cousins of the half blood, and not having a spouse living, may be joined in marriage.
2. Two persons, regardless of gender, who are married to each other may be rejoined in marriage if the record of their marriage has been lost or destroyed or is otherwise unobtainable.
NRS 122.025 Marriage of minor who is 17 years of age: Consent of parent or guardian; authorization by court.
1. A minor who is 17 years of age may marry only if the minor has the consent of:
(a) Either parent; or
(b) The minor’s legal guardian,
Ê and the minor also obtains authorization from a district court as provided in this section.
2. In extraordinary circumstances, a district court may authorize the marriage of a minor who is 17 years of age if the court finds, by clear and convincing evidence, after an evidentiary hearing in which both parties to the prospective marriage provide sworn testimony, that:
(a) Both parties to the prospective marriage are residents of this State;
(b) The marriage will serve the best interests of the minor; and
(c) The minor has the consent required by paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection 1.
Ê Pregnancy alone does not establish that the best interests of the minor will be served by marriage, nor may pregnancy be required by a court as a condition necessary for its authorization for the marriage of the minor.
3. In determining the best interests of the minor for the purposes of subsection 2, the court shall consider, without limitation:
(a) The difference in age between the parties to the prospective marriage;
(b) The need for the marriage to occur before the minor reaches 18 years of age; and
(c) The emotional and intellectual maturity of the minor.
(Added to NRS by 1957, 316; A 1975, 1817; 1977, 279; 2019, 3660)
I have tried to spread info re child marriage in the US for years. The refusal to ban it goes hand in hand with the Epstein Class, and the absurd difficulty to get justice for child rape, as the Pedofiles don't want to lose legal access.
OMG! I am stunned by this news. And outraged. I had known about deep southern states marrying children but I thought, without knowing, that it was outlawed. OMG!

AAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!
Thirty-seven states need to do the right thing. This should NOT be continuing!

Legalized rape & pedophilia. Disgusting
Excellent reporting on this hopefully it can change
“Mormons and conservative Protestants are the earliest to marry, followed by mainline Protestants and Catholics, “
From 2014.

This is so sick! I had not idea this was happening
Well, the anti-choice hardline makes so much sense now - can’t reduce their dating pool.
OMG! I had no idea! This one will be added to my "Why I hate Republicans" tab.
How does this even happen legally. Shameful
And, when they get pregnant, at 12, they will damned-well carry that baby to full-term and LIKE IT!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The Republicans love it, almost as much as they love slavery.
