When reports first surfaced that Courtney Stodden, a 16 year old aspiring singer, got married to Doug Hutchinson, a FIFTY ONE year old actor, people were first scandalized. Soon this turned into full-fledged disgust. But after a while, people began to wonder. Was Courtney lying about her age? Was this all a stunt? Was she actually 16? After this, media outlets and paparazzi everywhere suddenly wanted access to Courtney Stodden’s birth certificate. After much searching, they found it. And it turns out that the young 16 year old is in fact, a young 16 year old. Of course, in various photographs, Courtney Stodden looks rather mature for her age, and that is putting it mildly. The locks have been teased and dyed, her figure looks mature, and her face is extremely tanned. Not many 16 year olds look like her. However, if she is telling the truth, then it is what it is. This is not stopping all the public scrutiny. People and media outlets are out there proclaiming that a child of her age should not be allowed to marry any man, least of all, a middle-aged one at that. The fact that her parents gave her permission to marry him itself seems a bit questionable to many.
