ZD: Why do you post things, on just about every thread you post to, that are widely inaccurate. First I post accurate information and you contradict it. I correct you and you again parrot the inaccurate information you already posted. Then you contradict yourself in the same post from one sentence to another. This is your modus operendi on every thread.
Not only can minors under the age of 16 get married in the State of New York (as well as the various other States) but it actually happens every year. Between 2000 and 2010 3,853 minors were married in New York State. In 2011 alone New York judges approved the marriages of a 14-year-old, a 15-year-old, another 15-year-old and another 15-year-old. In New Jersey between 1995 and 2012 178 marriages between ages 10 and 15 were approved by judges out of the 3,499 New Jersey marriages of those under 18.
