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…

Anything @RealPatrickWebb posts or reposts is pure clickbait nonsense.

National age of consent too.... Instead of 16 vs 17 vs 18....

You have no idea about a lot of things.
In some states these marriages are to first cousins, also legal. Children are once again working in slaughter houses and meat processing plants. What the hell has gone wrong here? We are going backwards. Likely greed.

The FEDERAL GOVT needs to ban child marriages!! Like a woman's right to health care--including abortion--child marriages are NOT a state's rights issue!

Most require parental approval for 16 and 17 year olds A judge's approval for under 16 45/12 just doesn't happen. Are you okay with 12 year olds picking their gender WITHOUT parental consent/ knowledge?

See, lady, a person who was qualified to lead the country would already know about this. President is not an entry-level job. So
