Yes I do, when girls are 13 they are not of legal age to get married. They should be prosecuted to the FULL extent of the law

To play devils advocate, Girls used to get married at a young age not long ago. They usually married older men because they were established with a house and a career. This allowed them to have children and provide good homes to them.
Now days, even in my neighborhood 13 and 14 year old girls are getting pregnant with no where to go and no one to support them. So, in some ways, I can see justification for young girls marrying. But we need to get back to when fathers made sure the men were dating there girls with the right intentions.
Is 13 too young, yes I believe so. But if she has become pregnant then better for her to marry so the child can have a chance.
With me, I would have to take it on a specific case by case example. I personally think that in today's age, with what I know teenage girls are doing, 16 might be a good low end age to marry.

YES! That is way too young! What does a 13 year old know about life? What is wrong with him? I didn't realize this was legal! And if parents let it happen then they should also be prosecuted! That is like junior high age! They don't even understand geometry yet let alone life!

yes they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. To get married both parties should be 18 years or older. 13 year old girls are not mature enough to make the decision to be married and are not old enough to have sex for that matter.

13 is way too young! Only a pervert would marry a 13 yr old.

limits are set for a reason, There is ABOSLUTELY NO WAY a 13yo is emotionally ready to be married. Even to another 13 yo.
You can not possibly know what you will want in life at 13. How can you get married if you don't knwo what you want?

Where are you from?
I don't like to use this word but I have no better one on my mind now - in CIVILIZED COUNTRIES it is illegal. Men cannot marry so young girl here. 13 is definitely too young.

I know a couple who were married when they were 16 & 18. Thirty years later, they are still married. Their secret? They actually love each other.
