Pennsylvania has become the third state to fully ban child marriage, following Delaware and New Jersey.
Gov. Tom Wolf signed into law last week a bill that sets 18 as the minimum age to obtain a marriage license.
Previously, those younger than 16 could get married if they had court approval, while those between the ages of 16 and 18 could get married with the consent of a parent or guardian.

Personally from having fallen into the young age marriage trap I think banning till 18 is still way too low. Maybe 45 would be more like it. However the real question is will stopping juvenile marriage stop juvenile fucking and child production?
