Collected Thoughts

Well, Clark was canonically fifteen at the beginning of the first season (yeah RIGHT Tom Welling could pass for a fifteen year old back then, but that's canon for ya), so logically he would be canonically seventeen now. Age of consent in Kansas is sixteen, and ever since Lawrence v. Texas, Kansas's pesky anti-sodomy laws are out. So yeah, the boy's legal. For *anything* Lex wants to do, as long as it doesn't involve farm animals. Which it probably doesn't, because Lex is so clearly a city boy.

However, I'm not sure if he's legal to run off to Canada with and marry. Lex wouldn't run into any pesky "transporting a minor across state lines" legal problems, but I'm not sure if Canada will marry people under the age of eighteen. They might well, I'm just not sure. Odd that I don't know, since I, you know, LIVE HERE, but I don't. Also, a Canadian marriage would not be recognized in the USA, under current US laws, which are highly unlikely to change soon. They could get married legitimately enough, but the marriage would only count in Canada, the Netherlands, or Belgium.

Um, I may be overthinking this.
