What do mormons say about marriage through Jesus Christ?
They say that marriage in their religion "forever and eternity" instead of "Until death do we part".
Can Mormons not date non-Mormons even if the girl is willing to convert when she marries and goes to stake dances and has a lot of Mormon friends?
Mormons can date whomever they want, but are encouraged to date other members of the church. Dating can lead to marriage, and Mormons believe that if you marry in the temple, you can be sealed to your spouse for eternity. However, both individuals must be members of the church in order to be sealed in the temple. If you are willing to convert, why wait until marriage? If you have a testimony, join the church now, and then you don't have to worry about not being able to date Mormons because you will be one. :)
Can Mormons have sexual reltionships before marriage?
No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") hold chastity, purity, and virtue in high regard. They do not participate in any sexual activities before marriage, and after marriage have strict fidelity to their spouse. If an unmarried Mormon does have a sexual relationship before marriage, he/she must talk to their bishop and repent of their sins with God. They will have their temple recommend taken away for a certain period of time, usually one year. When they do decide to get married, they may have to wait even more time if they want to be married in the temple. To see some official information from the church about this topic, see the related links below.

Are Mormon girls forced to marry at young ages?
No, definitely not. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are NEVER told when or whom to marry. Church leaders follow a strict policy of never pressuring an individual or couple into marriage. The average marriage age among Mormons in the United States is in the mid 20's. Most Mormons in the US have graduated from University studies or served as missionaries for the Church before considering marriage. In other nations, the age varies depending on the local culture. Still, quite a high percentage of Mormons don't marry until their 30's or 40's, and some never marry at all. A Church leader will NEVER approve of or perform a marriage in which the bride or groom is under the legal age. Marriage and family are very important in Mormon culture.

Does Mormons have wives ages 9?
No, absolutely not. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are encouraged to avoid dating, courting, or romantic relationships of any kind before age 16. Mormons also believe in obeying legal marriage laws, and in most places, legal marriage age is 18. Mormons are also encouraged to serve as missionaries for two years prior to serious relationships or marriage, and missionaries must be at least 19. The average marriage age among members of the Mormon church is about 23 for women and 25 for men, although some are married as young as 18 and others are married well into the later adult years (or never married). The Church has absolutely no tolerance for underage marriages or marriages of young girls to much older men. Check out the "Related Links" below for more information about Mormons.
