Didn't know this was a problem...

Delaware has made history as the first state in the nation to ban child marriage under all circumstances. Before this, minors in Delaware could get married at any age with parental consent and a judge’s approval
quote:
There were 167,000 children married in 38 states between 2000 to 2010, the latest numbers available, Human Rights Watch reported. In some states, children as young as 12 may marry.
quote:LINK
“Children under 18 have no legal standing — they cannot file for divorce, utilize a domestic violence shelter, apply for a loan or open a credit card. They cannot enter any legal contract, but until this bill was signed they could be married as a child without any way of escaping an abusive marriage,” Delaware Rep. Kim Williams, a Democrat and one of the bill’s main sponsors, said in a statement.

But I'm sure they'll rule that parents must pay for a child's sex change if they demand it.

You don’t think child marriage is bad?

But they can go on national tv and try and rewrite National gun policy.

I don’t feel this law will really deter the freaks that want to “marry” children. They will find a way

But yet western culture is so evil.
