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.

I remember a certain religion that believed in multiple wives, and that did not prevent the government from saying no, so what the hell is this dirtbag talking about
This is wrong.
He’s a coward, or a pervert, maybe even both.
You’re. Such a damn idiot. Smh
NO SHARIA LAW! !!
Fuvk you fat boy
And that’s why Chris Christie was my #16 choice for president back when there were 17 people running for the Republican nomination!
So he left the door open for the freakin Muslims to marry little girls…………what a flaming idiot he has turned into……………MPA
The mormans also had child brides but not 9 year olds.
Where’s his loyalty to the founding documents, and the equality of male and female — with the government’s role of PROTECTING the least of us, including “child brides” — an extreme form of child sexual abuse.
