        So, as long as the adult pays off the family, and the family "agrees" to it, the 13 year old can be married in Kentucky? WTF? Everyone of those @KyLegislature members should be charged with Complicity to Rape - the ones that are stalling the vote anyway!

        The U.S. already calls people who do this bad names - "child molester", "child rapist", "sexual predator", etc.. It's astounding that they would even need a Bill to stop anyone younger than 18 from being able to get married! But,...KY is a Republican-controlled state, so...

        This should be an embarrassment to anyone who lives in Kentucky.

        Allowing young children to marry is child abuse. It’s a perversion foisted upon young females. They become victims of predatory practices. It saddens me that we must even pass a law because adults will not exercise fortitude & do right by children.#ChildrenDeserveBetter

        How is this any different than human trafficking? The child bride is brought and paid for like cattle. I’m outraged! They are children!

        Wtf this bill actually on the table for discussion and votes. Its a child, 13 years old you don’t know who you are at 13, not even fully developed mentally or physically. This is a travesty and just shows how its past time for new law makers to be ushered in.
