Show Notes
Colorado lawmakers aim to close a loophole allowing minors to marry with court approval, often leading to forced marriages of teenage girls to adult men. This practice, which sidesteps statutory rape laws, has been linked to trapping girls in difficult situations, blocking their education and future opportunities. Despite support from survivors and advocates, a bill to end these exceptions has stalled in the legislature, with some progressive organizations opposing it.
