[ExI] child marriage, usa

[SR Ballard]

The referenced statistics can be found in this article: http://apps.frontline.org/child-marriage-by-the-numbers/

If 1% of 200K married in 15 years are 13 years old, then that’s still more than 100 per year. Maybe that’s not a “crisis” but it is (or can be) a problem. Can you sue for divorce at 14, or do you need your parents to do it? And if you have sex with your husband, is it statutory rape?
