Well in that case could we please convince Massachusetts to change the law? That would at least show that the US is offically (and legally) distancing itself from this practice. And in general I'm pointing out that this law would also invalidate quite a number of us mariages that are 17-17 which can lead to some very annoying situations, for example if you are not married and not familiy then you have no say in medical situations. So I think we should be very careful with this kind of legalasation to not also invalidate more or less reasonable marriages if they are valid in the country of origin.
