‘A get out of jail free card’: GOP bill would eliminate age requirements for marriage

[GMDino]

The Wyoming gop is pulling the same stunt...so as to not infringe on anyone's "constitutional rights".  

Efforts to raise the age of marriage to 16 in Wyoming have stalled as the WY GOP is urging its constituents to oppose a bill to add a minimum age, not because the bill is too weak, but because the bill stood to rob their constituents of "constitutional rights" to marry a child. pic.twitter.com/mpQ0hBsjUZ

Currently the state allows marriage licenses to become a "get out of jail free" card for a rapist, particularly if they impregnate the victim trapping kids in a legal quandary they can't escape as it enters a minor into a marriage before they're old enough to bring legal action. pic.twitter.com/iVvOFeh1Lz
