As the issue of child marriage gains more attention, New Jersey legislators decided to do something about it and passed a bill that would prohibit marriage of any children under age 18.
Governor Chris Christie was handed the opportunity to make New Jersey the first state to officially ban child marriage without exception.
Nancy Munoz, the bill’s main sponsor, is a Republican assemblywoman from Union. She introduced the bill after hearing testimony in committee hearings about children being forced into marriage “for religious reasons.”
Under current New Jersey law, children under age 16 can be legally married with parental consent and approval from a sympathetic judge.

He’s always been an a**-hole!!!
So a child can be married to an old bag of man, just bc he has the money to flounder to their parents as a gift, THAT NOTHING BUT CORRUPTION. It’s still a business as usual. The parent that does this. need to be prosecuted and serve prison time, till the child is at least 21 yrs of age. Where the protection? they better off with no parents dealing with their future. THIS MUSLIM WILL NEVER QUIT, they don’t belong here, to practice their crime ideology cult.
What a bonehead!!!!
Shame on Gov. Christie! He should be through in politics real soon!
