Why is still allowed in many states for minors to marry with parental, guardian, or judicial permission?

Only a few states have completely banned child marriage ( I.e. marriage before the age of 18) where are our progressive values?

A lot of it has to do with thinking their child is marrying better off, it's very common around military bases for poor people to marry their teenage daughters to service men, Elvis Pressley is a prime example.
