I don’t get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

    Well, that’s just a rule of general not-being-a-creep. I think a better law is: No one can consent to marriage (or sex) for someone else, ever, including parents.

      It seems pretty obvious: if you can’t sign a legally binding contract, you can’t sign a marriage contract.

      Oh, I agree, but it’s depressing to know that there are people in the Republican Party that would probably violate that rule easily. Not that I ever trusted them, though.
