Kentucky Votes To Ban Child Marriage
“Kentucky is one of 25 states where, provided certain conditions are met, a child can walk down the aisle to marry at any age – no bride or groom is too young. A bill approved by the Kentucky Legislature and headed to the governor’s desk would change that. Kentucky’s S.B. 48 would make it illegal for anyone 16 and younger to marry. The bill cleared the Kentucky House of Representatives on Friday.”
