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.

Moronic$#%&!@* hat! Drain the swamp!
Sharia law is banned by the US United States Constitution, Article VI, para 2. Anyone for sharia law is seditious to the USA. Governor Christie, this is the USA, not Saudi Arabia.
I would be more concerned about the violation of young girls forced into marriage with older men by their religion. I am horrified that you as a father would decline to ban child marriage!!
