US: The U.S. Should Stop Being Hypocritical When It Comes to Ending Child Marriage (Commentary)

US: The U.S. Should Stop Being Hypocritical When It Comes to Ending Child Marriage (Commentary)
Ms. Magazine – November 21, 2021
The U.S. has a well documented child marriage problem. A shocking fact is that in the majority of child marriage cases, it is adult U.S. citizen men petitioning for foreign child brides and fiancés. Many of these adult U.S. citizens are in their 40s and 50s. Bluntly put, our laws facilitate predatory behavior by U.S. citizens and put girls in the U.S. and abroad at risk of child marriage.
