Delaware and New Jersey banned child marriage this year. I expect many other states will soon do the same.

I expect you’re right. However, that ban is entirely about forced marriages. It covers all marriages only because it’s too difficult to figure out which is which. So again, the outrage isn’t about 16-year-olds getting married, but 16-year-olds being forced to marry.
