Can someone fill me in on marriage laws?

Question

I did try to google it, but it was hard with different states!

My question is, at what ages in the U.S.A can you get married, whether it's with consent or not, I just want to know.

Being a 29 year old Australian Citizen, I find it confusing when I read about 'baby dramas' with married 17 year olds in the pregnancy section.

Obviously, it must be legal at some stage, just the laws are different over here (I think)

Thanks!

  18 years of age is with 97% of the States that you can get married and not before that age, even with parental consent. There are 3 states that you can get married in with the consent of the parent at the age of 14 years of age and older to 18.
