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?

Until 2021 it was 14 to get married here with parental consent.

Age of consent is 16 in general.

Then they changed it to 18 to get married without parental consent, 16 with.

But the age of consent is still 16.

Because we have no progressive values here, just traditional ones. 🙃
