To be shocked that child marriage is legal

in all 50 US states? I was listening to the radio this morning and a news item stated that the Delaware senate voted yesterday to ban child marriage under all circumstances. It will be the first US state to do so! I found this shocking and have looked into this a bit further. In nearly half of the states there is no minimum age for marriage! In theory a six year old could marry a 30 year old! Some eye opening statistics here.
