I'm familiar with teen marriages and the laws/regulations that allow it in the US, and elsewhere. I know it is possible with a court consent in Australia (where I grew up) from 16, and it is the same here in France (where I live now). I'm unfamiliar with the notion that child marriage is a conservative cause. Do you mean in the context of religious freedom? Are there conservatives who push for child marriage in unambiguous terms?
