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.

Get a back bone you gutless wonder. It’s called rape, it involves children and should be punishable by death. See the slimy bastard you have as a governor New Jersey.
He is incapable of thinking unless he’s told what to say he’s speechless.
Ban child marriages
Law leans the way of the parent and standing law official, aka a judge. By new jersey law, both need to approve the marriage. It’s messed up, but its being done the right way regrettably. Just because we don’t like it, doesn’t meam we can infringe on their religious customs.
