zbeckabee

Prior to 1970 the age of majority was 21 years in most of the States. The exceptions were Kentucky where the age was 18, Alaska where it was 19 and Hawaii where it was 20. In Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Utah the age of majority was 21 years for males and 18 for females. Apr 21 06, 6:00 PM

Is 'The Age of Majority' the same as 'the minimum legal age for a girl to marry' in the USA then? It would appear so from the answers. It is not the case in the UK for instance. Apr 22 06, 10:00 AM

The age of legal adulthood in the U.S. is 18. However, the age of consent for sex and the marriageable ages (with and without parental consent) vary by state to state. In a few states, with parental or court consent, a girl can marry as young as 13 or 14. However, U.S. state legislatures have recently been working to change this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriageable_age#Americas Apr 22 06, 8:05 PM
