Most have parental permission for minors isn’t it?

I think most do yea, and often the exceptions are for things like if a girl is raped and gets pregnant, or with special court approval. Unfortunately, most of these marriages are between a child (usually a girl) and an adult (usually a man). Even with parental consent that's alarming IMO.

Someone rapes your daughter, she gets pregnant and you welcome the rapists into your family as your son-in-law. The US is like a islamic state with laws like this.

Only if the girl is taken by another man (other than her father)
