I had no idea child marriage is legal in so many places in the United States. In five states, there is no regulation at all; a 12-year-old girl could be married to a 45 year old man. All states need to ban child marriages; they’re an open invitation to the abuse of young girls. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Maybe if we had free healthcare, there would be no child brides? Just a thought

Unbelievable that pedophilia is acceptable by law in 5 states! Those children's lives are not respected or being cared for. They are bound to be middle aged men's sex slaves for the rest of their lives SHAME ON US 😖🥺

I was actually pretty shocked to discover this myself. It’s completely unthinkable.

Which is more common: 40 year old men marrying 12 year olds, or 3rd trimester abortions? Because you argue the latter is so rare it doesn’t have to be banned

Religious culture in those same areas don’t see girls as being anything but stay at home mothers.
