The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) has more information on Rep. Betty McCollum’s bill to prevent child marriage (H.R. 3357) on their blog here. The post also goes into more detail than I did in my previous writing on the subject. If you need more empirical motivation for your outrage, ICRW has plenty of details on how awful child marriage is for girls all over the world.
