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.

Unacceptable Mr. Christie. This America we don’t care about some backward Christian needs & certainly not about Muslim preferences.Maybe Trump needs to reconsider you as chairman of this new committee.
SO LET THEM RAPE HIS GRAND DAUGHTER IF HE DOESN’T. CARE

Seems like everyone supports this muslim sharia bs but Trump and the American people. The liberty tree is screaming to be refreshed about right now. Our own leaders on disapprove of islam on camera , they are all traitors
