Lt. Governor Bysiewicz Signs Legislation Banning Marriage Licenses for Minors
Press Release
Issues: Minors and Children Marriage
"Child marriage is a human rights violation. The impact of being forced into marriage underage can be devastating, and both physically and emotionally harmful. In America, we should be setting an example for the rest of the world on what it means to stand up for children and their basic rights. I urge other states across our country to join this growing coalition and raise the marriage age to 18."
