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.

Worthless idiot.
Fing coward!
Christie is a total idiot!! Moral laws need to be followed. Wedding children is not only against the laws of the USA ( child pornography, child endangerment, child abuses, endangerment of minors, etc, etc) these abusive rites need to be outlawed in the USA even if they are claimed to be religion based. This is not only stupid but immoral.
I wonder what he’s hiding
ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE, SHAMEFUL AND UNEXCUSABLE!!
It also violates so many of our laws. We need to protect the children.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
We as a Nation must protect our children.
Not our custom
You can’t fix stupid.
