Why does the US have so many child brides?
И как это сочетается со всеми этими законами и процессами, про которые мы столько слышим?

Statistics released by the Pew Research Center show that nearly 5 in every 1,000 15-17 year olds in the United States are married.
Unfortunately, other sources cited in the Wikipedia page are not reliable - they are politically charged organizations with an obvious conflict of interest.
Is 0.5% a lot? No, it's much smaller than the marriage rate in the age group around 20.

Between ages 15 and 25, roughly about 10-15% of people get married. So, 0.5% is 1/20 of the typical marriage rate for young adults.

I cannot admit that a deed that is simply legal in one state, may bring the person to prison for many years and, sometimes, death in prison, in another state. A crime may be punished slightly differently, ok. But what is a crime must be universal in the limits of the same country and, better still, around the "civilized" world. The existence of such a condition signifies that a critically thinking individual simply cannot allow himself to respect "the Law", that every law must be scrutinized before admitting it to the body of things to be respected, and that the law-makers cannot be trusted. The existence of such a condition means that one enters into a permanent civil disobedience.
In all that, what should be the content of a better law, what should be the age of consent and so on can be discussed. But the fact that what is not even a misdemeanor in one place cannot be a crime in another place of the same civilization, cannot be discussed.
