Praise Jesus!
True Christians™ in states all over the country are rejecting liberal pushes to secularize marriage.
Quote:
A woman from Florida has claimed she was forced to marry her rapist at age 11.
Sherry Johnson says she was raped four times by members of her family’s church congregation as a child. As a result, she became pregnant at age 10.
When investigators began looking into her case, she claims her family tried to protect her rapist by forcing her to marry him.
“My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like a wife?’” Ms Johnson told The New York Times. “She said, ‘Well, I guess you’re just going to get married.’”
Florida is one of 27 US states that permits children of any age to be married with their parents’ permission.

Marrying off one's defiled daughter is perfectly Biblical, and is God's Perfect Plan for the victim-child:
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
Quote:
Both Ms Stafford’s legislation and a matching Senate bill [to outlaw child marriages] died in committee. A similar law was shot down by the New Hampshire state legislature this year.
Just this month, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed a law that would have outlawed child marriage without exception.
“An exclusion without exceptions would violate the cultures and traditions of some communities in New Jersey based on religious traditions,” Mr Christie said in a statement.

Indeed! We don't want to infringe upon religious traditions, so long as they are the right kind of religion of course.
