All things considered though, what I find most ridiculous is that one can be married and start having children at 16 but not be able to vote, buy alcohol, watch an 18 rated film, smoke, learn to drive etc and have none of the rights available to adults despite being able to take that extremely adult step in life. Madness. If anything, that law needs to be revised. Stick marriage up to 18, or older.


Yes a Mess put in that way
