Virginia Becomes the First State in the South to End Child Marriage
Virginia is the 12th U.S. state and first in the South to end child marriage, removing a loophole that allowed emancipated minors to marry.
Oooo. The first. Maybe they’ll start a trend in the South? Hold on. I think I peed myself laughing.
Marriage tourism to neighboring states, maybe
As a Virginian, 1. I didn't know that was still a thing 2. I didn't know our legislature was working on this 3. I'm shocked younkin signed it.
The guy is a grade a clown.
As far as 3, you really think that’s a hill he wants to die on? I know some state legislatures have killed similar bills, but a governor expending political capital to veto it?
After this, and Alabama barely avoided electing a known pedophile, I feel the bar has really been raised by southern voters.
Hold on.. that has been still legal in 2024 there ? Wow..
still legal in 38 states now.
Sad..
Only 38 more to go!
