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.

Excuse me, but this is America! It’s not some primitive Muslim country. The religion of Islam is based on Mohammed ,.the pedophile, rapist, murder piece of c**p prophet! The Quran is a nasty inhuman hateful book. Our laws in America are to protect ALL people in this country. Our laws count here , not Sharia law (Islamic law). Children need to.be protected. Marrying innocent young girls to.old men is disgusting! Many are badly hurt or die on their wedding night (their young bodies are not ready for sex). So are we just protecting most American Children and allowing young Muslim girls in this country to being abused? No foreign laws are allowed to be practiced on U.S. soil. So why are we allowing Muslims to.get away with breaking all sorts of laws on the excuse “it their religious belief”. Don’t like it here , don’t assimilate, don’t obey our laws go back to your Muslim country!
What about your duty to protect the children of your state from abuse? Guess you forgot that!
Idiot!
shows me he is an idiot
What bs, just legalize pedophilia
QUIT BOWING DOWN TO MUSLIMS CHRISTIE
You whimp !!! Stand up for what is right
Our government and society has become so worried about offending someone or a group that we are failing to see the big reality. We are failing to see how, appeasing one group in reality has a larger negative impact on a much larger group of people. Christies fear of offending a group is instead putting young, vulnerable girls at risk of losing out on life. He is enabling and contributing to the harm and loss for the girls. Hold him accountable.
That’s wrong this is the US
