Oh, it gets worse that that. In some of the Bible belt states, you can date and marry someone as young as 14 and not get into trouble. In Massachusetts, anyone under 18 will get you in hot water.
That's right: conservative states tend to have younger age-of-consent laws that a big ol' liberal state like Massachusetts.
And don't laugh. I know a guy that almost ended up in jail when he got his girlfriend pregnant. He was three months older than she was, except that he was 18 when he got her pregnant and she was 17. Hand-to-God this is true.
