For those who voted "At least 19"

Here is another variation of the poll with different number choices

@shortstories - I voted 15-18.

If I had a magic wand though, I would cripple the power of the state, and things like marriage-age laws would become more like socially enforced guidelines.

I wouldn't encourage 40yr olds to marry 15yr olds (unless they're war-brides or something - then it's up to the warrior's discretion).

But in the rare case that two 14yr olds wish to marry, and their fathers don't object, then I wouldn't stand in their way, nor should the law.

@shortstories

I'll refrain from voting. seems like it is their business.

I might think that you should be 18 to get married. But who am I to decide over other peoples life?

Now if I was as pastor then perhaps I should have a say.

Ideally couples should get married and have children in that order. And the older we are the more mature decisions we will make. But wait too long and you might not be able to have babies at all

Some of our grandmas got pregnant when they were 14-15 and did great
