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.

Bad love Chris. I understand the importance of protecting religious freedom….however, protecting children in this country….from what we have clearly defined as child abuse, pedophilia, molestation, rape, or age of consent must be protected by enforcing our laws, LA as here in America, laws against above mentioned crimes, the awesome if the land…our land America.
Bad move (not love) Chris…(incorrectly auto corrected below)
