ending child marriage
Victory dance, please. The Rhode Island House of Representatives just unanimously passed the bill we and our allies have been promoting relentlessly to end all marriage before 18, without exceptions — H5387, sponsored by Rep. Julie Casimiro.
As you may recall, the state senate unanimously passed the senate version last week, so the bill now heads to Gov. Daniel McKee’s desk for his signature. Are we about to see the fifth U.S. state end a human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives?
