Having grown up in the north and attended a competitive southern school, I can safely say that it is not COMMON to get married under 21 in the south, but it is certainly MORE common than in the north.
In both cases, though, you have to consider the area. In a small town in the south, probably nothing wrong with starting a family at 18. In a suburban area like the one where I teach, it's a big no-no.
