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.

Has he lost his mind?
Well as of this year we will have a different governor and chances are he’s going to be even more immigrant sympathetic and will allow these Muslim scumbags to do whatever the f*** they want
We do not need this in America.
He is a sick, disgusting$#%&!@* I bet he would change his mind if it was his children or grandchildren.
Ass
culture is not religion fool
Really! As if we Americans should care!! Child marriage is illegal here!
There have always, and in most states, exceptions down to 16 years of age with respect to marriage in cases of pregnancy and parental consent. Just don’t take it down to 12 like the Middle Ages for the benefit of Muslims.
Pathetic moron loser!
Your a dumbass, time to rise up and get rid of these kind of politicians , your putting our kids at risk.
