allowing a child of any age to be legally wed as long as a parent or guardian signs off.
Then it goes before a judge who has to agree to it. I don't know about y'all's courthouse's, but the judges in the county I grew up in were having none of that shit every time I found out about teenagers trying to get married
It wouldn't be surprising to me if California or NYC ends up being the new capitals of a refreshed America. They still have sane leaders who aren't bankrupt in all the ways.
About fucking time. Fucking fundie Christians marrying children off to grown pedos.
2026, California bans child marriage.
Glad they got that squared away.
Oklahoma closed theirs this year. They were one of four with no statutory minimum. See: Unchained at Last.
It's good that it's closed, but I wonder how much this loophole was actually used.
They’re scrambling to close a loophole that allows outrageous financial aide and scholarships for parents who wed their children before college.
Is Newsom going to veto this one, too?
That religious people are even allowed to be around children is insane.
