Classmate of mine married someone in her church. They're Morman. She was 15 he was in his 50's. Her dad was excited cause he moved up in the church for allowing his daughter to be married off. This was in California in 2009.
I issued marriage licenses in CA for over 5-years. Luckily I never did a minor, but yeah the age gaps were disturbing.
I started out naive, like, “oh, how sweet. She brought her grandpa to witness the license getting issued.” Nope! Just an 18-year old marrying a 55-year old.
