Re: Can a 14 year old get married?

I am thinking that some laws are set based on brain development rather than sexual development. It is a fact that the lobes of the brain which govern mental/emotional maturity develop at different rates...so perhaps the age was set using those facts.

My ex mother in law was married at 14 and had her first child at 15. She is 78 now and though her husband died ten years ago, they never divorced.
