    Indeed surprising for me, the trick being that it’s not 18 when considering “marriage with parents and judicial approval”, which are probably pretty rare but definitely possible in way more countries than i would have bet

      Mostly the same in the US, most of the states that are 18 below require parental consent. Still not awesome but it’s not like a bunch of teenagers are getting married willy nilly.

        Allowing children to be sold off as child brides with parents consent is not an improvement. Especially since they cannot legally get divorced until they are 18
