California bans child marriage under new law

California has enacted a law banning child marriage, with Governor Gavin Newsom signing the measure. The move puts a spotlight on the practice in the United States, where most states still allow minors to marry under certain conditions, and prompts comparisons with global efforts to end child marriage. Advocates are framing it as a step toward broader reform.
Why now: A major US state outlawing child marriage has renewed debate over the practice's legality in America and worldwide.
