Ex-child bride welcomes legal victory
California has advanced a bill that would set the legal marriage age at 18 with no exceptions, following unanimous approval by the Senate. The legislation aims to eliminate current allowances for minors to marry with court and parental involvement. Advocate Courtney Stodden, who married at 16 with parental consent, supports the measure and highlights the need to protect children from the harms of child marriage. The bill now proceeds to the Assembly Judiciary Committee for further consideration.
