Maine is one step closer to banning child marriage!

Maine has been the last state in New England where child marriage remains legal, but thanks to our advocacy, that may change: The Maine House of Representatives just passed the bill we have been promoting to ban all marriage before age 18, no exceptions!

The bill now goes to the senate for a vote, bringing Maine one step closer to banning a human rights abuse that destroys girls’ lives.
