End Child Marriage in Massachusetts

Показать описание
Between 2000 and 2016, more than 1,200 children under age 18 were married in Massachusetts, according to government data. Almost all of them were girls marrying adult men. Fifty-seven were under age 16, the state’s legal age of consent. The current law sets the minimum marriage age at 18, but allows children to marry with permission from a judge and parental consent. When those conditions are met, there is no statutory age limit.

So what's the alternative? Throw people in jail and throw them on the sex offender rolls? For falling in love? Well that just figures doesn't it? What a scam.

Nice wording, "human rights watch", it's the exact opposite.

0:23 I think that "FORCING" someone to marry is illegal no matter your age is.
Should have said "Allowed to marry"

I am absolutely for these so-called loopholes that allow for child marriage.And I am against your so-called "human rights" campaign and I hope it falls flat.So what, you asked a bunch of public- schooling brainwashed kids what they thought, and this is supposed to amount to wisdom? Uh- uh, no.
