Apparently You Can Marry 16 Year Olds

I assume this is a stunt. They are not an actual couple. Hutchison is a Hollywood has-been with little chance of a comeback. He'll get bit roles in things like 24, and may even negotiate a movie role here and there. But he's D-list. Can't pay the bills that way.

Stoddard never got a real start. And she has the "ridden hard and put away wet" look. Little chance of a future in Hollywood.

So, they put on a little PR stunt. Get together, stir controversy about their ages, and leverage the attention into a reality show for the brain-sedated, voyeuristic masses.

Their "marriage" isn't real. The attention didn't just find them. Their agents leaked the story to drum up business. Goes on a lot in Hollywood for folks of this (low) caliber.

They'll be on Dancing With The Stars in a few years, or simply fade away.

I thought only women bought into this type of bullshit.
 


Actually no permission to marry at 16 is needed in Scotland, hence the popularity of Gretna Green as a marriage location. Personally I think it really depends on the person, I know 16 year olds that are far more mature than 30 year olds.

I don't give a fuck if my daughter is more mature than a camembert cheese which has been sitting on radiator for 6 months. My answer will still be written in buckshot.

I think wanting to get married at 16 automatically excludes you from being as mature as a 30 year old.
 
I can understand how another parent wouldn't want this scenario for their daughter but since her parents are okay with this, and it's legal, it shouldn't be a problem.

I find it amazing that they are receiving death threats. Who are these people who so angered by something that doesn't affect them in any way?

The state plays into it, too. In certain states if you put a baby in an underage girl you can marry her without parents consent. West Virginia, Indiana. Gives sort of a perverse incentive to get a young girl preggers.
