2019-03-01 | Republicans in state with highest rate of child marriage vote to keep it legal

'I think two willing people should be able to go and get married.” Rep. '

'Senior researcher Heather Barr of Human Rights Watch told Newsweek that “child marriage is … associated with girls dropping out of school, sinking into poverty, being at greater risk of domestic violence, and with serious health risks, including death."'

' Unfortunately for young people in Idaho, the majority of Idaho Republicans didn’t just miss that memo—they actively overruled it. '

'Unchained at Last does note some good news: Child marriages continue to decline as state laws forbidding or restricting them spread around the country. '

'Which brings us back to Idaho, and that bill that they killed in their over two-thirds male and mostly white statehouse. '
