<P> Unlike most Western countries, 18 of the U.S. states do not have a legal minimum age of marriage . Individuals aged 18 have the ability to marry in United States states except Nebraska (19) and Mississippi (21). In addition, all states, except Delaware and New Jersey, allow minors to marry in certain circumstances, such as parental consent, judicial consent, pregnancy, or a combination of these situations . In half of the states, children under 16 can be married too . In the 32 states which have an absolute minimum age set by statute, this age varies between 14 and 18, while in 18 states there is no statutory minimum age if other legal conditions are met . Although in such states there is no set minimum age by statute, the traditional common law minimum age is 14 for boys and 12 for girls - ages which have been confirmed by case law in some states . Over the past 15 years, more than 200,000 minors married in US, and in Tennessee girls as young as 10 were married in 2001, before the state finally set a minimum age of 17 in 2018 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Name </Th> <Th> Type </Th> <Th_colspan="2"> Minimum age </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Statutory age when all exceptions are taken into account </Th> <Th> General age </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Alabama </Td> <Td> State </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Alaska </Td> <Td> State </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> American Samoa </Td> <Td> Territory </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> 18 </Td> <Td> Since 2018, the marriage age is 18 for both sexes .
