One should remember that legal ages change.... I remember when I married my first hubby (mistake) in 1970 I was of age but hubby wasn't. For females at that time it was 18, but males had to be 21 and he wasn't, so his mommy had to sign.... (Wished she would have refused) anyway, the point is, now both males and females need be only 18 in this state... Should have gone the other direction... up to 23 not down to 18. Iris
