True. If they have sex before being married either of them who is having sex with a minor (which could be both of them is they are both young) could get statutory rape or other minor corruption charges. However, once they are married they are both defacto adults able to have sex and enter into contracts, etc.
Not any more, even with marrage, sex with a minor is a Felony.
Some states have youth sex laws, like in Texas if you are within 2 years of each other's age and both over 16 you can legally have sex. But once the marriage papers are signed there is no upper age requirements. If you are gal and 12 and have your parent's consent you can marry any guy 14 - 17 with parent's consent or 18 - 114 if he says yes. Once you are married you can bionk like a porn star and no one can say boo about it legally. Well unless you take pictures of your self naked in which case you could be arrested for child pornography. (yes a minor was recently arrested for taking pictures of herself naked.)
Sorry, but your are wrong, and your idea is a fantacy.
I realize a lot of you are having your personal sensibilities challenged, but these are the laws of the land in the US. You have to remember in the puritan mindset ANYTHING that gets people married is better than sex out of wedlock and "old enough to bleed, old enough to breed" is how these laws got made.
No the laws have changed in the last decades, sex with minors is Illegall as hell, and 15 will get you 20.
It doesn't matter if you are married, if you are 18 and over, and they are 16, and you get caught, just sign up for the sex offenders regestration, you will go to jail.
