Which is more immoral?

Both should be legal.  There is nothing wrong with option 2, option 1 is a bit weird so I voted for that.

i dont think you should be able to stop anyone from getting married if they love eachother. noone has to live with any consequences but them.

Even if they don't love each other. What do you care?

good point. anyone should be allowed to marry anyone no matter what. although i must say, i would disapprove of a guy marrying a tree, but i wouldnt care if they did it.

EDIT: youre right, ilikeverin, it should be be frowned upon, but legal.

I disagree. You dont turn 18 and stop gaining maturity. Maturity is something that increases as you get older, no matter how old you are, but because the rate slows down as you get older, a percentage is needed.

He never said you didn't stop gaining maturity, only that at 18 you are 'mature enough' to decide who you want to marry.

I disagree. Not if you're picking someone who is 80 years old.

Are you mature enough to decide to have sexual relations with someone who is 80 years old?

As far as I see it, lots of people aren't particularly mature at eighteen, but that doesn't mean we deny them their rights because we don't think they are suitably mature for an eighteen year old. Why should we stop someone who is mature and say nineteen from marrying an eighty year old when two people who are immature and eighteen are perfectly allowed to marry each other?

An 18 year old is mature enough to marry another 18 year old, not an 80 year old.

How do you know?

It's my theory.

Precisely. It should not be imposed on the rest of the population.

So you think an 18 year old has the same maturity as an 80 year old?

it shouldnt be maturity by comparison, it should be 'are YOU mature enough to get married?" i think at 18, you are.

Because, the ages differ too much making it the opposite of eqaulity- ineqaulity

Out of curiousity, define 'equality' for this kind of thing.

Eqaulity means similar ages

Age doesn't make people equals.

What I'm getting from this is that you think you know what's best for grown adults better than they do.

Don't we all?

No, I think that adults should be able to make their own decisions so long as they don't harm anyone else.
