Ages of consent in North America
Quote:
United States
The United States is a federation of states where the age of consent laws are made at the state level. There exist several federal statutes related to protecting minors from sexual predators, but none of them imposes an age limit on sexual acts. On 26 June 2003, both heterosexual and homosexual sodomy became legal in all U.S. states and territories under the U.S. Supreme Court decision Lawrence v. Texas[40] (between non-commercial, consenting adults in a private bedroom). In State v. Limon (2005), the Kansas Supreme Court used Lawrence as a precedent to overturn the state's "Romeo and Juliet" law, which proscribed lesser penalties for heterosexuals than homosexuals convicted of similar age of consent related offenses.[41]

Each U.S. state (and the District of Columbia) has its own age of consent. Currently state laws set the age of consent at 16, 17, or 18. The most common age is 16.[46]

Marriage in the United States
Quote: Marriage in the United States is the legal recognition of certain relationships - normally, monogamous pairings committing for life - that is regulated by individual States. It has important legal and economic and social aspects, and is generally seen as a prerequisite for having a family. While the common sense of marriage has been a union between a man and woman, increasingly same-sex marriages are being recognized. After a period of dating and engagement, the marriage technically begins with a wedding, in which two persons become spouses, and the marriage endures until a spouse dies or until there is a divorce or legal separation. Marriage generally serves as a social marker to indicate a desire by two people to enjoy sexual exclusivity. It confirms particular rights and privileges, many of which are defined in law, such as receiving benefits and being able to bequeath property to descendants. In a marriage, males are referred to as husbands and females as wives.
Marriage laws have changed considerably during United States history, including the removal of bans on interracial marriage. In the twenty-first century laws have been passed enabling same-sex marriages in several states. In 2009, there were 2,077,000 marriages, according to the Census bureau.[1] Adults of any age can marry; the median age for the first marriage has increased in recent years;[2] for instance, the median age in the early 1970s was 21 for women and 23 for men, and it rose to 26 for women and 28 for men by 2009.[3]
Marriages vary considerably in terms of religion, socioeconomic status, age, commitment, and so forth.[4][5] Reasons for marrying may include a desire to have children, love, or economic security.[6] Marriage has been a means in some instances to acquire citizenship by getting a green card; the Immigration Marriage Fraud Amendments of 1986 established laws to punish such instances.[7] In 2003, 184,741 immigrants were admitted as spouses of United States citizens.[8] |
