    While draft laws are federal laws are state laws rather than federal; marriage regulations are
    therefore not uniform throughout the country. The legal marriage age serves as an example of
    this lack of conformity. In most states, both the man and the woman must be at least eighteen
    years old to marry without parental consent; however, the states of Nebraska and Wyoming
    require the couple to be at least nineteen, while the minimum age in Mississippi is twenty- one.
    If parental permission is given, then a couple can marry at sixteen, though a judge’s permission,
    in some states, and a few states even allow marriage before the age of sixteen, though a judge’s
    permission, in addition to the permission of the parents, is sometimes required in this situation.
    Some states which allow couples to marry at such a young age are now considering doing away
    with such early marriage because of the numerous negative effects of these young marriages.
