According to the age of sexual consent in most states, no.
Remember when that 16 year old Courtney Stodden married that like 53 year old actor a few years ago and it made headlines? If a 16 year old REALLY wants to get married, then whatever, but at the least I hope it's not to some 50 year old creep.
It just seems so wrong for someone so young to marry someone SO much older. Very inappropriate but that girl has been exploited and seems to have a few screws loose.
Do I think marriages between teens or a teen and a young 20-something will last in this day and age? Little to no chance. There are some circumstances that I can understand a marriage that young - teen pregnancy, emancipation (rare but why can't a legally independent teen be married?) for example - but I think pretty much anyone who gets married too young is in over their heads nowadays. And yeah I think 16 is pretty much the lowest age I personally would be remotely okay with a teen marrying at.
