Just a reminder | American law allows the marriage of minors

We bring you the most important and latest news in the following article:

American law allows the marriage of minors, from the Al-Fajr website, dated today, Monday 29 July 2019.

Local law in most US states allows children under the age of 18 to marry with parental consent and judicial approval.

The Massachusetts State Senate unanimously passed a bill banning child marriage in the state, despite the text of the law that allows it.

The human rights organisation “Human Rights Watch” had stated that 1200 children were married in Massachusetts between 2000 and 2016, and that most of these marriages joined underage girls with adult men.
