Girls as young as 14 can marry men (of any age) in Utah!
Once, 11 years ago, a daring radical named Carl Saunders tried to change this by introducing H.B. 301 , which raised the age from 14 to 16. The bill failed, with barely 25% of the Utah state legislature voting for it. The bill was introduced again earlier this year, and it still failed to get enough votes to pass.
So, if you're into little girls, move to Utah!

An article in the Salt Lake City Tribune describes a typical senario, when someone ran afoul of the law by marrying a 13-year-old
In April, a 13-year-old girl described to a Utah jury the horror of her father marrying her off to a 48-year-old man, when a prosecutor asked if she could have fabricated having sex with older men.
``There's no way my imagination could make up what I went through,'' she answered, while clutching a teddy bear.
Her father, John Perry Chaney, who impregnated a 15-year-old girl, ran afoul of, among other things, Utah's law forbidding girls younger than 14 to marry.
