California bans child marriage, legal in 32 states
Original: California bans child marriage, a practice still legal in 32 US states
California has enacted a ban on child marriage, becoming one of the few US states to prohibit the practice outright. Marriage under 18 remains legal in 32 states, often with parental or judicial approval. The new law is being widely shared online, with many readers surprised that minors could legally marry anywhere in the United States.
Why now: Many people are surprised that child marriage was still legal in most US states until now.
