That child marriage is legal in CA
"With an OK from a parent and a judge, it’s estimated that a couple thousand minors get married in California each year — most often a younger girl wedding an older man. But weak data collection laws mean we don’t know exactly how many minors get married, or their ages, or the ages of their spouses. And activists who want to curb child marriage say that lack of data has helped sink previous efforts to ban the practice in California. With no hard numbers, opponents can simply insist it’s not a real problem.
A new bill from Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Laguna Beach, aims to fix that by requiring more regular, thorough and public reporting on underage marriages in California.
“This data will help substantiate what we know to be true — child marriage is a persistent and pervasive problem in California,” Petrie-Norris said.
Survivors of child marriage say it’s a message they’ve tried to tell lawmakers"
Also Planned Parenthood "pushed back" against putting an age limit on marriage. GO FIGURE, RIGHT?
"Sitton wrote a letter to California legislators, detailing her story, four years ago, when lawmakers were considering a statewide ban on all marriages involving people under 18. But the age limit was stripped from Senate Bill 273 — which added some rules to marriages involving minors — after pushback from, among others, the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood. Those groups argued that imposing an age limit would also limit a fundamental right to marriage. Neither organization responded to a request to speak for this story."
WHERE is the OUTRAGE?! Oh yeah. Dems/progs are fine with literally anything done by blue lawmakers and politicians. Stripping women's rights and allowing child marriage. Voting for a man who sexually assaults women.
One has to wonder, at what point will the left realize theyve become and are everything they accuse their opposition of being? Fascist authoritarians who are stomping our peoples rights and ignoring rape and assault.
