Miriam was born Oct. 22nd, 2007. I'll be 18 July 17th. We were married April 9th, 2007 when I was 16. My mom beat me though. She was only 15 when I was born.

isnt that illegal? to be married at 16?

sachiko

Well if it were illegal, we wouldn't be married, would we? The minimum age for marriage in Michigan is 16 with parental consent. A judge can approve a marriage at an earlier age if there's good cause.

ok cool

sachiko

By the way, just in case anyone is adding and subtracting months, the age of consent in Michigan is also 16.

what that mean?

sachiko

It's the age at which a girl stops being jailbait. It varies a lot from state to state. Every guy should find out what the age of consent is in his state.

what is jailbait?
what is age of consent?

sachiko

If you, as Shakespeare said, "make the beast with two backs" with a girl who is below the Age of Consent, you can be charged with statutory rape. Hence the term. Jailbait, applied to girls who are below the Age of Consent.
