Ohio Republican leaders divided over bill to end child marriage as legislation stalls
By
Morgan Trau
Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Ohio's top Republican legislative leaders are divided on whether child marriage should be debated at the Statehouse. A bill to end child marriages, introduced in February, has stalled in a Senate committee despite having no public opponents. Before 2019, Ohio had no minimum marriage age, and while 16 was promoted for girls, exceptions existed for any age with parental and judicial consent. Currently, 17-year-olds can marry someone up to four years older than them.
