世界強(qiáng)國(guó)—米國(guó)，居然也存在童婚現(xiàn)象。這個(gè)是我們?nèi)f萬沒有想到的吧，讓我們一起來看看經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)關(guān)于美國(guó)童婚是怎樣寫的拒迅。
America has always allowed such child marriages, which happens mostly in conservative religious communities and rural areas. Yet, as in the rest of the world, the practice has become much less common. Whereas 23,500 minors got married in 2000, by 2010 the number had dropped to a little over 9,000, reflecting changing social norms, higher rates of school attendance for girls and a decline in marriage more generally. Virginia, Texas and New York have introduced laws in the past couple of years that restrict marriage to legal adults. Connecticut has banned marriage before the age of16. In 11 other states legislation restricting child marriage is in the pipeline; six of these (Arizona, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania) are considering a law to ban marriage under18 with no exceptions.
