    You can buy a good tent for $1000, and pitch it in Yellowstone National Park.

    Once upon a time the chuson and kallah would move in with his or her parents…

    How’s that for rent?

    “New York State’s current marriage laws have provisions for getting married from age 14.”

    That doesn’t apply to us because the couple and parents have to go to secular court to get permission. Going to secular court is asur. 😉

    Children can get married at age 16 in NY with parental permission.

    Charlie,

    “Going to secular court is asur. ;)”

    No it is not. It is assur to adjudicate in court, not to go to get permission for a secular provision. But most people can clearly see the difference.

    But you are suggesting violating Dina Demalchusa

    I think you might have missed the winkie smile on the end of his post. In other words, it was a joke.

    There was an article today stating that in Virginia they are going to close ban all marriages under 16 there and there is a similar proposed law in NY

    Florida’s legislature had a bill introduced in 2014 to prohibit marriages under age 16, but the bill never became law.

    In NY the bill is New York (A. 8563),

    In Virginia it passed both houses and the bill is going to the governors desk

    ZD,

    So it is possible that in the future you will not to be able to have a marriage legally recognized if one of the parties are below 16. But that is not that the case now. Contrary to your prior declaration.

    What might be appropriate is that if you have more laws, you just have more law breakers, so do not make a new law.
