   You can’t enter into other contracts until 18 so why was marriage an exception?

      Not true, you can certainly enter into military service contracts and student debt obligations! And unlike marriage, there is no easy way to dissolve those.

         I also think you shouldn't be able to enter into those.

         Honestly, if anything the gray area should work in the other direction: no entering into life -changing legally-binding contracts until you've had the full right to vote, work, and to self determination for...oh, let's say one to two years?
