Nothing wrong with either case.
A 30 year old man and a 15 year old child is against the law.  It's called rape.

Not exactly.

Age of Consent for a Marriage in States (with parental consent);

Mississippi:  12
New Hampshire:  13
Hawaii, Missouri:  15
about 35 states:  16

without parental consent:

Mississippi:  15
remaining 49 states:  18

BTW:  I agree that Mississippi's law is ridiculous.  TWELVE with consent and FIFTEEN WITHOUT consent?

Things are different now days because of pornography, but when my great great grandparents were married, my ggf was 26, and my ggm was 14, and they were married in the Church, and with the blessings of both families.  They were married for 60 years (+/-) and had 17 children.  She was later a Franciscan tertiary, and all agreed it was a good match.

Well, children also matured more quickly than they do now.  Back then some 12-year-olds were more mature than your average 25-year-old today.
