Trapped: The American women and girls forced into marriage

Women and girls are still being coerced into abusive marriages, including many under the age of 18. Between 2000 and 2015, more than 200,000 children were married in the US, where some states still allow it.

Be careful talking about conservatives and their penchant for teenaged girls, I got modded for that earlier today.

Aren't most of these between teenagers when the girl gets knocked up though? I mean there is a reason why the term shotgun wedding exists.

Frontline, the investigative journalism programme for the Public Broadcast System (PBS), reports that between 2000 and 2015 more than 207,000 children under the age of 18 were married in the US: 87 percent were girls who were overwhelmingly married off to adult men. This number is likely even higher since some states have not provided data.

This happened to an old co-worker of mine during the 1980s. She got pregnant at age 14 by a 22-year-old. Her parents forced her to marry him and signed the papers. They were divorced in 5 years.

Until like the 1990s in my state you could get married as soon as 14 if your parents signed off on it. Then they changed it to 16.
