Pennsylvania became the third state in the U.S. to ban child marriage as Governor Wolf signed a bill Friday prohibiting issuing of a marriage license to anyone under the age of 18. And on May 6th, the Minnesota Senate unanimously passed a bill outlawing child marriages, which is expected to be signed into law in August. Currently, there is no federal law regarding child marriage, and the only other states with an outright ban on child marriage are Delaware and New Jersey. According to advocacy group Unchained at Last says that 77% of minor girls who got married in the U.S. between the years of 2000-2010 were married to adult men.
