Sheltering an unmarried minor? tf?
Child marriage is legal in Afghanistan and many US states.
It’s not illegal if you marry your victim.
Some states even have a minimum marriage age of 0.
…as well as a misdemeanor charge of sheltering an unmarried minor…
Hol’ up a minute with that last bit
Probably in reference to underaged spouses, basically you can’t be charged with anything related to having a kid in your home if said kid is your spouse
That whole statement is still really problematic. Not your problem, but damn.
This might surprise you, but not all that long ago there were plenty of married (and childrened) 16 year olds. Like, more the rule than the exception.
Still like that in much of rural south America
And other parts of the world, I’m pretty sure 16 is still the full age of consent in Germany for example.
- Between 14 and 16 you only get in trouble if you abuse the sexual inexperience.
And if said kid is someone else’s spouse?
Btw, “sheltering” sounds incredibly broad.
