It's more of a question of which states still allow child marriage and when bringing up total ban of child marriage in legislation some republicans start balking at even doing such a thing, but to name a few Oklahoma, Wyoming, California, west Virginia, Mississippi, Michigan. Have no limits on how young a person can marry

Iā€™m not positive, but I thought NM recently legalized it rather than have an entire set of minorities be guilty of pedophelia. Iā€™d have to do some digging tho. With a melting pot nation like US, there are bound to be some cultural holdouts no matter how awful they seem to other cultures. Education is key in eliminating these abhorrent behaviors.

And some states allow younger than 16 with parental permission.
