In order to get married, you first need both parties competent enough to say yes. We don't let underage kids to say yes to marriage anymore (I know some cultures and countries have different views but they probably have more restrictive marriage laws).
Since we (as a society) can't even agree on what free will is, I see no way a law or form of governance can determine that.

Seems that NH has changed since the above link was published https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_age_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_age_in_the_United_Sta... has more details per state, seems some states have a way for any age

It does not matter what you think about the topic, it's what gets approved by laws. To think that it won't happen for reason X or Y is to discount history and likely outcomes. Why shouldn't a person be able to marry a robot if they so desire? Why shouldn't a robot be able to earn their own income?
