    Probably in reference to underaged spouses, basically you can’t be charged with anything related to having a kid in your home if said kid is your spouse

        This might surprise you, but not all that long ago there were plenty of married (and childrened) 16 year olds. Like, more the rule than the exception.

          My mom married my 21 year old dad when she was 16.

          In 2001, my ex gf married her 25 year old boyfriend like a month after she turned 17, which turned into a whole spat of men in their 20’s marrying girls in their teens at my church for about 3 years. It was fuckin gross and predatory and we just sat there and watched it happen. God damn fundamentalism.
