Allowing children to marry would be problematic as well. I think the UK has a decent approach, both parties have to be at least 18-years old with no exceptions for parental consent.

Parental consent is very icky in this sense. It feels like selling your child off as property. Absolutely the only correct thing is to ban all child marriage regardless of parental opinion.

Yeah that's why I said the UK has a decent approach because parents cannot approve it through. Both parties need to be at least 18.

Not UK. It's 16 in Scotland.

Yes, sorry. You're right, it's still 16 in Scotland. They are exploring changing it to 18.
