"Underage marriage" can refer to one of two things:
It usually refers to a marriage where one or both of the individuals require parental consent in order to get married - the age varies from state to state.
The other definition is a marriage where one or both of the individuals is not old enough to legally marry even if they could get parental permission.
I would propose another definition which although a bit vague I think would be valid:
A marriage arranged between two individuals where at least one is too young to consent and which would be illegal in most 1st world countries. As an example - a marriage arranged between a 30 year old man and an 11 year old girl by the girl's father in a middle eastern country might be legal there, but it would be illegal in any European country.
