Can an 8-year-old waive their rights to sue a company by clicking a box?

That's the stance of Roblox, an online gaming platform that bills itself as a digital playground.

The argument comes as the $41-billion company is embroiled in a lawsuit with the family of a Northern Kentucky child whose death by suicide, her mother says, is related to use of the platform.

Not an exception. Minors cannot get married if they're under 18 in any state unless they get their parent's (or a court's) written approval. A minor cannot enter into a marriage contract by themselves.
