To be clear, the law says marriage certificates can't be given to anyone under 18. Parental concent does not matter. Unless I missed something in the bill

Unfortunately child marriage is still legal in most of America . Although, some progress is being made.
Why're people on Lemmy (and other forums) so toxic? What can you do beyond report, call out, and block?
I wonder if a forum with real names would cause people to be more respectful.
Permies.com requires people to use their real name (at least something that sounds real) and there's very little toxicity there. Although how much that affects things I don't know, as the mods are very active, and quick to ban.
While Maine's off the list, there are 36 other states where you still can. :(
