Well in Texas it says....
What is the age with parental consent in Texas?
Male: 14 – parental consent and/or permission of judge required. Below age of consent parties need parental consent and permission of judge, no younger than 14 for males and 13 for females.
Female: 14 – parental consent and/or permission of judge required. Below age of consent parties need parental consent and permission of judge. No younger than 14 for males and 13 for females.
So as long as mom or dad gives consent, as long as the girl was at least 14, it passes the state law test.
Does the age of consent for marriage matter, since most of these marriages are a sham? Or can I really give consent for my thirteen year old daughter to be raped by a fifty year old guy? Remember - they aren’t legally married!
And what does the "state law test" say about abortion?
Wrong. The age of consent has been changed to 16 with a parent’s permission. This law was enacted when the FLDS set up shop in TX a few years ago, knowing their track record with little girls.
Male: 14 – parental consent and/or permission of judge required. Below age of consent parties need parental consent and permission of judge, no younger than 14 for males and 13 for females.
Female: 14 – parental consent and/or permission of judge required. Below age of consent parties need parental consent and permission of judge. No younger than 14 for males and 13 for females.
Wrong! The minimum age to marry was raised to 16 a few years ago just after this group moved to Texas.

Where are you finding your information? Citations, please. You may be citing marriage law, but since these are not legal marriages, the marriage laws do not apply; the age of consent laws, do. And the marriage laws can only apply where there is no abuse and where the child consents.
The age of consent laws in Texas are very different, and they are damning. They paint an an entirely different picture:
The age of consent in Texas is 17 {Texas Penal Code Section 21.11}. However , "...It is an affirmative defense to prosecution under this section that the actor...was not more than three years older than the victim and of the opposite sex...(and) did not use duress, force, or a threat against the victim at the time of the offence" and is not a registered sex offender {Section 21.11(b)}.

Again, please cite your sources, since plural marriages are not legal, the marriage laws do not and cannot apply to these children.
No parent can give their permission for their child to be abused illegally, regardless of age.
What about if mom or dad forces the girl to marry?
Texas Minor Marraige age is 16 years or older with parents consent. A Texas court can be petitioned by a minor and a judge find the child marriage in the best interest of the girl. FYI, no judge will find it in the best interest of a minor girl to marry an already married polygamist whose wives collect welfare checks. Polygamist Mommy and Daddy cannot consent to their daughter's Spiritual marriage to an adult undivorced man without commiting a FELONY by causing the child to engage in sexual contact in "Spiritual" child molestation marraige which Texas does not recognize. The FLDS women enablers may face such charges.
TEXAS FAMILY LAW (kicks polygamist ass)
§ 2.003. APPLICATION FOR LICENSE BY MINOR. In addition to the other requirements provided by this chapter, a person under 18 years of age applying for a license must provide to the county clerk:
§ 2.103. COURT ORDER FOR UNDERAGE APPLICANT.
(f) If after a hearing the court, sitting without a jury, believes marriage to be in the best interest of the minor, the court, by order, shall grant the minor permission to marry.
TEXAS CRIMINAL LAW (kicks polygamist ass)
§ 21.11. INDECENCY WITH A CHILD.
(a) A person commits an offense if, with a child younger than 17 years and not the person's spouse, whether the child is of the same or opposite sex, the person:
