According to Unchained At Last ,
The youngest girls to get married in Tennessee between 2000-2010 were 3 10 year old girls who married men ages 24,25 & 31 respectively ? WTF !
In 2006 in Tennessee an 11 year old boy married a 27 year old .
What the hell is this ?
If THIS isn't Child Marriage then Butter my ASS & call me a biscuit ...... That's freaking nuts .
How is this even possible in the United States of America ?

Well,it appears to bemore about common law marriage just getting pushed through for some reason.
I am 100% against common law marriage
Should not be forced on people. If they are not married they are not married.
Doesn't look like it is intended to be about lowering the age. But obviously they should fix that if that is what they are looking for. But whole thing should be dumped even if it is just about common law marriage

taken & so true
Exactly.....as usual the LIBS only show up when they want to throw stones.....No doubt there are Pedos in the R party BUT the D is the PARTY OF PEDOS
I knew from the get go that STORY was framed by the MSM in a way to deflect from Disney and other reveals
I have avoided commenting on it because This is pretty much a non-story than really doesnt change ANYTHING that is already going on
Lets focus on REAL crimes against children...it doesnt matter WHO commits them.....
PS....I suspect that at best 2 people have even bothered to research what this law is really about and what is going on with it...
Kinda like how the left just repeats the MSM narrartive of "DontSayGay" as if that were are real thing. Nothing like the LIBS creating false narrative and lies as their servants lap it up and vomit it out as truth....
A Tennessee bill is aimed at excluding same-sex couples from proposed common law marriage contracts. Social media posts misleadingly claim the bill would allow child marriage and “legalize pedophilia.” The bill initially omitted a minimum age, but was amended on April 6 to say individuals must be at least 18 years old. It was amended and STILL passed out as some nefarious scheme, deflection as usual.
Republican Rep. Tom Leatherwood introduced House Bill 233 to a Tennessee House subcommittee in early March. The bill would allow a man and a woman to file marriage “contracts” based on common law principles that are not yet legally recognized in Tennessee. Same-sex couples would not be eligible for the contracts.
The bill sparked a backlash in the state and around the nation because it did not include an age requirement for those seeking such a marriage contract.
The sponsors amended the bill on April 6 to say that contract applicants — which it specifies as “one man” and “one woman” — must have “attained the age of majority,” which is 18 years old in Tennessee.
But social media posts continue to misrepresent the bill, claiming that it lacks an age minimum and was intended to facilitate child-marriages.
A Facebook post on April 7 from the liberal advocacy group Occupy Democrats misleadingly claims, “Tennessee Republicans are advancing a ‘marry little kids’ bill that will allow them to marry children of any age. Why is the Republican Party trying to legalize pedophilia?” The post has amassed over 3,600 reactions.
The post attributes its claim to a March 29 story by the Tennessee news station WJHL. However, the day before the Occupy Democrats’ post, WJHL reported, “Common-law marriage bill amended to add age requirement while still being considered.”
A similar misleading claim was posted on Facebook on April 6 by a page run by Left Action that is called Trump Sucks.
But as we said, the omission of an age minimum was rectified on the same day this Facebook page posted about it.
“Altering or addressing age in marriage was never the intent of this bill. … It’s a better bill by putting [the age minimum] in there,” Leatherwood said, according to the Tennessean.
According to WUSA 9, the bill is scheduled to be heard by the Tennessee House Civil Justice Committee on April 13.
