Age of consent in Alaska-16. Age to marry-18
http://blog.laborlawtalk.com/2006/11/07/alaska-age-of-consent-laws/

The Alaska age of consent laws are unique. The age of consent in Alaska is 16. This is the age at which an individual may consent to have sex with someone over 18, legally, in Alaska. It applies both to heterosexual and homosexual acts.

The minimum age to marry in Alaska is 18. People under the age of 18 can marry with the consent of both parents. The prospective bride and groom should bring certified birth certificates, and their parents should present valid identification.

In Alaska, as in many other states, the laws on statutory rape depend, in part, on the age difference between the two partners. The law recognizes statutory rape only in cases involving an age difference of more than 3 years. A 20 year old man who has sex with a 15 year old girl, in Alaska, is guilty of statutory rape. A 17 year old male who has consensual sex with a 15 year old girl is not guilty of statutory rape, under Alaska law.

1. Age of consent
when you are supposedly and evangelical Christian is your wedding night.

It's not about legal age here. It's about fundy Christian values.

Come on, underpants. Just be glad you didn't pick G-string or thong.

7. No.
It's 16 in most states. 17 at the lowest I think.

9. Age of consent is generally 16 to 18,
but can go as low as 14 or 15 in a few states.

6. Funny
The subject of age of consent only comes up when talking about 'family values' Republicans...
