And again, I don't support this, in my country the age of consent is 16.
And I agree with that system, as long as judges obey the spirit of the law (not the letter) and don't convict a 16 year old for having sex with a 15 year old.

in the bold, the state of Georgia, U.S., the legal age of marriage is 14.

I thought the age of consent in US states was always between 16 and 18? Maybe they don't convict a 14 year old for having sex with a 17 year old. But isn't it illegal when a 30 year old has sex with a 14 year old?
