longshot? I'm just as opposed as you are to the notion of Sharia law being shoved down the throats of Americans. However, before any state jurisdiction entertains a proposed ban on teenage marriage, state legislatures need to evaluate both the justness and the integrity of their age of consent laws and address them accordingly. Otherwise, I say that they leave well enough alone with regard to the marriage laws. It was only back in 2013 that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo granted a middle-aged man a full pardon for a 1988 conviction of "statutory rape" after Governor Cuomo found out that the reason for this man's conviction was that this man at the age of 22 had gotten a 15-year-old girl pregnant back in 1988 and that he was now married to that same lady and had been happily so for a quarter of a century. That man's name was Rocco Paciello, and he was no child predator by a long shot.
The problem with "laws" is common sense often does not apply. Lawyers make the laws and profit from debating their relevance. It's a circular illogical system. Trouble is, what would work better? At least in America we have a jury system, but unfortunately juries are seldom taught by our education and judicial systems to exercise their 10th Amendment when necessary. It's up to citizens to know and protect their rights in the face of governmental intrusions.
