Elizabeth Siders faced victimization before her 18 births
Elizabeth Siders, an Ohio woman who married at 15 and had 18 children, was a victim of a legal system that allowed her marriage to occur despite her being underage and possibly subject to abuse. She and her family were later found living in neglectful conditions, leading to child endangerment charges against her and her relatives. Advocates call for legislation to raise the legal marriage age to 18 without exceptions to prevent similar cases and protect children from exploitation.
