And not among Catholics either. The minimum marriage age for Catholics varies by country -- and officially you're right, it's still 14 here -- but in some countries it's as high as twenty. But few Catholic priests here would ever allow a 14 year old to get married, and NONE would suggest that a couple should subvert state marriage laws with a higher minimum.
