America has a child marriage epidemic

WTF, are they trying to max out the tax advantage on their generation-skipping trusts?

Here are the marriage ages for US and the world for context:

The US doesn't seem to particularly stand out. I feel this article is manipulative and just tries to antagonize people. Manipulative because it says some marriages were for children aged 10, while the minimum age is usually 15/16. So how is this even possible? Those 10 year child cases should definitely be investigated, but I'm sceptical that's anything more of a small fraction of underage marriages and they are probably illegal to begin with. The antagonizing part is simple: It's all Republicans. Don't mention that California has technically no official age defined. This would break the narrative.
