15-year-old needs parental consent to get married. But an 18-year-old does not need consent from the 15-year-olds parents to have sex.
Every state has an age difference built into the statutory rape laws. It is sometimes called the "Romeo and Juliet" rule. It acknowledges that it should not be a crime for an 18-year-old to have consensual sex with someone very close in age.
