[Vision2020] 'It Was Forced on Me': Child Marriage in the U.S. by Nicholas Kristof (NYT)

[Saundra Lund]

"Idaho had the most married children on a per-capita basis among states that
provided data; Texas led in sheer numbers of children married."

 

I am absolutely stunned & heart-broken - I had no clue American politicians
were still so willing to allow American girls to be pimped out.

 

"A great majority of the child marriages involve girls and adult men. Such a
sexual relationship would often violate statutory rape laws, but marriage
sometimes makes it legal."
