Child marriage ban bill defeated in West Virginia House

A bill that would have prohibited minors from getting married in West Virginia was defeated Wednesday night in a legislative committee.

The Republican-dominated Senate Judiciary Committee rejected the bill on a 9-8 vote, a week after it passed the House of Delegates.

The vote came shortly after the bill's main sponsor, Democratic Del. Kayla Young of Kanawha County, testified briefly before the committee. She said that since 2000 there have been more than 3,600 marriages in the state involving one or more children.

Currently, children can marry as young as 16 in West Virginia with parental consent. Anyone younger than that also must get a judge’s waiver.

more....

Republicans consider woman breeding stock and have no problem in grooming them young to be sold off to marriage a lot like islam does in the middle east. This is going to happen if we democrats don't stand up against it.

I understand this really isn't the topic BUT it wasn't defeated in the House. It was defeated in a Senate Committee. It just really bugs me when someone who reports for a living gets something so basic wrong in a news story. (Not condemning the OP as they simply noted what the article said)

Then noting that 16-17 year olds are children really isn't accurate either. It's hyperbole.

If one wants to argue against someone getting married this young, do so, but do it without the inaccurate information and hyperbole.
