Petition: Demand All States Ban Child Marriages Immediately

Source: BBC News/YouTube

Did you know that child marriages are still legal in 20 states and that children can be married at any age as long as a waiver is signed? These kinds of marriages aren’t that uncommon either, as almost 300,000 children were married off in the United States between 2000 and 2018. On top of this, the marriage certificate proves a legal loophole that allows adults to engage in sexual activities with these children. Please sign this petition to demand all states ban child marriages immediately!
