1 min read

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

    Every moment, innocent dreams are lost; an innocent life full of laughter and play ends and a lifeless life begins. One can breathe but feels suffocated; there is no death certificate, yet life is dark.
