I’m confused. If children in marriages cannot divorce because they are too young to end a contract, how are they old enough to enter into a contract? How do they justify that insanity?

These statistics are apparently from 2021 or earlier. Nevada actually passed a law several years ago outlawing marriage before age 18 with marriage at age 17 allowed if a judge and a parent agree. I remember reading an article after its first year of enactment and only a few marriages had taken place in the whole state where one partner was only 17.

I’d love an exposé on the children exploited by deep-state left.

If you want to allow something, make it illegal.

Making it illegal draws a lot of publicity to whatever it is you want to make illegal.

So, everyone knows it's illegal.

The low hanging fruit will be condemned and punished, and the proscription will be validated.

The real miscreants live much higher up, however. Higher than the low-hanging fruit, higher than the high fruit, and higher than the people who pass laws making things illegal.

Laws that make things illegal don't make them illegal; they create a body of the population that will be prosecuted, relentlessly, because they take risks; and they create an immune elite, who do as they please and suffer no ill or retribution, because they don't give a hoot about risk, because they don't have to. After all, they tell us: the laws are working.

Drugs, prostitution, paedophilia, money-laundering, and all points taboo: there has been a raft of legislation making all these things (which were already illegal) illegal. So, why do you need to make illegal things illegal? [Repeat from line 1.]

I’m in shock, the numbers are disgusting. As a woman, abuse survivor, rape survivor, wife, and mother to two daughters- it incites a rather visceral reaction inside my soul.

Maybe ya'll and this author need to do some research. There is NO law in any state that allows marriage of minors under the age of 16.

Some states are strictly 18 + marriages only. While a vast majority of states also allow marriage of 16 and 17 year olds, with parental consent.

Also, saying that a married child can't file for divorce is wrong. It's their marriage, of course they can file for divorce.

For those who say the child can't file simply because marriage is a contract that children can't enter into contracts... you just answered yourself right there: the marriage isn't legal because the child can't legally enter into contracts, therefore, their marriage would be invalid. She could just walk away or get an annulment.

Thank you for this important post, Mr. Rashid. I hadn’t been aware of the extent of this problem. Thank you for including where to go to help. The victims of this clearly are not in a position to advocate for themselves.

These are all immigrants that have been let into America by the DEMOCRATS. THEY are the cause of the problem in the first place.

Huh? Huuuhhhhh?????

So the immigrants go into America, become citizens then become republicans to vote for this laws?

Oh l, you're a Russian troll. Your comment don't make sense. Did you even read this article?

It's immigrants who mostly do child marriages. But of course the author only mentioned white people.

Where is your evidence for this? Again, did you read this article? Are the Republicans now immigrants? I did not know immigrants have a say in the laws.

Looks like you have some problems with reading comprehension.
