If I travel back in time a hundred years or so to when the age of consent was 10-12, and date a middle schooler, would I be breaking the law?

100 years ago you would be drafted into the army to fight the kaiser
Tarl is that you?
Shit, what I really meant was around 1880ish
Why do americans have to think in extremes all the time? 10 is way too low, 18 is far too high
they didn't have middle school back then. But if you were interested in a girl that age, you'd have to go through her parents.
>10 is way too low
Not for the nineteenth century
Well, yeah. Obviously I'd need to be a man with some wealth and property. But this is strictly about the legality of it.

WHY THE FUCK I WAS WAITING A WHOLE YEAR FOR THIS TO HAPPEN
Only important people get married young because they are political tools
I think it depended on the state, but 10-14 was the legal marriage age.
especially for the 19th century, nowdays some 10 year old girls have already hit puberty and have B cups, back then they were pretty much all pre-pubescent little children
reminder that the age of consent in canada was 14 until a few years ago when the americans pressured canada to change it to 18
Marrying between 14-20 was very common. Anything after that and you're marrying used goods.
No, since you'd be dating centenarians
Good catch user. Well, see you guys yesterday.
That would be sexual tourism and you'd be arrested when you returned to the present, much like people who go to Thailand to fuck kids.
It's still 16 in most states in the union.
And the states that pushed 18 as the legal age, New york and California are known as the biggest harborers of legit pedophiles and horrifying creepers in the country.
What does that tell you?
Wait, you can be arrested for not following your states laws out of state in a place where something is legal? What about other U.S. states with lower A.O.C.? WV has a 16 A.O.C. right next to a bunch of states with 17, and my own which is 18.
Guess you just have to NOT declare you're fucking an underage, then. I find it hard to believe they can reasonably enforce global policing on such a private matter.
but you would marry her first, right?
>but you would marry her first, right?
Well duh.
