   Campaigners always use examples of old men marrying young girls but that’s not common at all.

   96% of children getting married were 16 or 17, and 85% of the adults marrying those children were 18-23. Not quite the horror show that campaigners push.

   I agree that no one under 18 should be getting married, I just question their tactics.

      No one is saying it's common. They're saying it shouldn't happen at all.
