Six years age difference or nine years age difference? edit
All the Wikipedia cites show an age difference of six years but the quote from the media writer says there was an difference of nine years... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.249.170 (talk) 23:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
- Link proves Loretta Webb was born in 1932, and was 15-years-old when she married Doolittle Lynn in 1948. I have corrected the article. Here is the link: https://web.archive.org/web/20130831101136/http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/life/people/story/2012-05-18/loretta-lynn/55068814/1 Sir Rhosis (talk) 20:44, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- I just watched YouTube recording about Loretta Lynn in which she states that she was married at the age of 13 and had 4 babies by the time she was 17 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7rxKMHL26w 209.197.150.226 (talk) 04:08, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- She lie ... uh fibbed about her age. There is no doubt. Read the link I provided above. Or just do the math. Born 4-14-1932, married on 1-10-1948 equals 15 years, 8 months and 28 days old. Sir Rhosis (talk) 07:50, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Age difference edit
The article says "one of the great legends of the twentieth century"[4] and "one of the most compelling tales in American popular culture." about the age difference which suggests that it’s something good when it actually isn’t. Today that type of thing wouldn’t be acceptable as it is statutory rape. Statutory rape isn’t a great legend or a compelling tale, it’s wrong. I think the article should be updated to reflect that. I don’t think you should write something that makes something that is objectively bad look good. 2600:6C48:7A7F:70B4:3174:81C1:4A03:7D9D (talk) 18:46, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
