Oh, it’s worse than that — under South Carolina law a marriage license can be issued to someone as young as 12 if they are pregnant or already have given birth.
🤷♂️ I try to think more about California than the red states who have been frothing at the mouth to return to the mid 1800’s. This is one of those things that I simply have to turn my brain off to.

Hold the fuck up… so if somebody rapes a 12yo and then convinces the family, that man can marry the kid?
That cannot be real, dude!
You would think the party of family values would have done something about it by now, right?
Edit: By the way, it’s happened at least 7000 times since 1962.
The rape is still prosecuted, right? right!
