This seems to be the real reason for the bill:Of course the talibornagain is against same sex marriage because they think its icky.
But in Tennessee, they think it is just ducky to marry children.

‘A get out of jail free card’: GOP bill would eliminate age requirements for marriages in Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A proposal making its way through the state legislature would establish a common-law marriage between “one man” and “one woman.”
Opponents of the bill (HB 233) say it would eliminate an age requirement, and in some instances, open the door for a coverup of child sex abuse.
The bill’s sponsor, Tom Leatherwood (R-Arlington) said the law being considered would add a new marriage option for Tennesseans. “So, all this bill does is give an alternative form of marriage for those pastors and other individuals who have a conscientious objection to the current pathway to marriage in our law.”
But missing from the bill are age requirements, opening the door for possible child marriages. Something the bill sponsor acknowledged during a Children and Family Affairs subcommittee. “There is not an explicit age limit,” Leatherwood said.
Representative Mike Stewart (D-Nashville), who sits on the subcommittee the bill passed out of, said he doesn’t understand the motivation. “I don’t think any normal person thinks we shouldn’t have an age requirement for marriage.”
He added it could open up the possibility to cover up child sex abuse. “It should not be there as it’s basically a get out of jail free card for people who are basically committing statutory rape — I mean it’s completely ridiculous, so that’s another reason why this terrible bill should be eliminated,” Steward said.
Straw man fallacy. Assumes facts not in evidence.I mean, you guys want to teach kindergartners about gay sex, but you don't want a mom and dad to be married if they want?
"But your Honor, . . . . just because my wife and I have been together since she was 9 years old, doesn't mean I'm a pedophile. She chose to live locked in my basement for the last 10 years . . . and both of our home schooled daughters love it there, too! Just ask them!!"Of course the talibornagain is against same sex marriage because they think its icky.
But in Tennessee, they think it is just ducky to marry children.

Only to be expected. Tennessee is one of the few states where it's legal to marry your first cousin too.Of course the talibornagain is against same sex marriage because they think its icky.

As long as the law is worded in such a way that a 30 year old can't marry a 15 year old.If a 15-yo girl gets pregnant with her 16-yo boyfriend in 10th grade and decide together to keep the baby, why should they be prevented from marrying?
Well that's a lie.I mean, you guys want to teach kindergartners about gay sex, but you don't want a mom and dad to be married if they want?
I don't think it is too wonky. Most states have laws for medical autonomy. Those laws vary but are usually between 14-17.See, this is where the left gets all wonky and confusing.
Marriage as a teenager = bad.
Hormone blockers or surgery for transgender as a teenager = good.
Pick a lane and stick with it, will you?

They're children, that's why.There does need to be an age limit, but also a framework where under certain conditions a judge could grant permission for a couple under-aged to be married. I don't think it's uncommon anymore for girls in high school to get pregnant. It happens. Kids are having sex.
If a 15-yo girl gets pregnant with her 16-yo boyfriend in 10th grade and decide together to keep the baby, why should they be prevented from marrying?

here's the republican who is sponsoring the bill...
I don't think it is too wonky. Most states have laws for medical autonomy. Those laws vary but are usually between 14-17.
State Laws on Minor Consent for Routine Medical Care - SchoolHouse Connection
This document includes states with laws allowing minors, including unaccompanied homeless minors, to consent for routine health care. It does not address state laws that empower minors to consent for substance abuse treatment, mental health care, treatment for contagious diseases or reproductive...schoolhouseconnection.org
So when states make laws specifically saying minors can't have hormone blockers or surgery, they are making a special exception to existing laws that specifically target trans medical procedures. Regardless, trans people under 16 rarely get approved for surgery for fairly obvious reasons. Instead hormone blockers are usually prescribed because they are reversible until they are older.
When it comes to marriage, I think what most people object to is many teenage marriage laws are written in such a way that they allow minors to consent with adults. Some states effectively have no age of consent as long as the parents approve the marriage, which there are documented cases of some nutjob Christian fundamentalists doing. I think two 16 year olds marrying is stupid but nothing to get too worked up about. But I think a 16 year old marrying a 25 year old should not be possible under the law.
Holy cow another factually wrong, dishonest and retarded strawman post LMAOSee, this is where the left gets all wonky and confusing.

Has it ever occurred to you that the use of the word "retarded" is unacceptable in 2022 and reflects poorly on you?Holy cow another factually wrong, dishonest and retarded strawman post LMAO
So much for "wokeness"...Has it ever occurred to you that the use of the word "retarded" is unacceptable in 2022 and reflects poorly on you?
The word "retarded" was literally banned in 2010 with Rosa's law.
And yet, here you are, day after day...using it...while also walking around and pretending to be someone that is enlightened.
then they will just trans.This is so right wing loser incels can get a date. When most women get to legal age they don't want nothing to do with those idiots.
There does need to be an age limit, but also a framework where under certain conditions a judge could grant permission for a couple under-aged to be married. I don't think it's uncommon anymore for girls in high school to get pregnant. It happens. Kids are having sex.
