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.

That is it for Christy.
And some people wanted this Moron to be president
Child molesting legal for blacks and muslims !!! Wow
That’s really too bad, who’s there to protect these children?
This is so wrong
Poor Chris is catering to the liberal agenda because wants a job with them. Talks real big, but his state has turned into a cesspool of liberal democrat politicians. It’s ashame he could have been something instead of another progressive liberal$#%&!@*kisser.
He is saying anything to take the spotlight off of himself
