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.

Christie ain’t governor anymore. Who cares what he did or didn’t do?
Let children be children until they are considered adults.
He planning to marry a bunch of little girls? One main reason I think so many demonuts support muslims, so many are child molesters themselves. He’s an ovomit bootlicker
Sick

That is sad. The children want to BE children.
Horrible that he defends this cruel barbaric cult culture !!!!!!!!!! He must be bought off and has no backbone to stand for protection for innocent children !!!!!!!!!! You can’t call a practice religion when it is cruel to children !!!!!!!!!!
Child marriage to grown men is WRONG , it relieves men from even caring about the sexual abuse of young girls without holding men responsible for the fact that immature females bodies suffer their whole life from that abuse ! A man’s brain is supposed to be in their head , not between their legs ! Chris Christi , I used to have respect for you but not anymore if you hold this male abuse thought as o/k in our AMERICAN society !
