If the bill is proposing this where one person is much older (ie more than a few years apart) then I am not going to defend it in fact quite the opposite. Is that what it states? Because I suspect this is instead a specific statute addressing the case where both people are essentially minors.

Until this law, there was no minimum age or minimum age difference if a judge gave approval.
Republicans have opposed all attempts to change that until now.
