Child Marriage in America | USA Child Marriage Report- America, which gave knowledge to the world, itself failed! In 21 years, 3.14 lakh children got married, even a 10 year old girl became a bride!

This is the same America that goes to the United Nations and gives speeches to developing countries on women empowerment, education and gender equality. But when it comes to itself, the same country legitimizes injustice through the holes in the laws. This report is not just a figure, but a mirror. Which shows how hollow America’s morality and its “human rights image” has become.

10 year old girl becomes bride: figures shook America
In the report released by America’s NGO named Unchained at Last, it was said that between 2000 and 2021, about 3.14 lakh minors got married. Most of these were minor girls, who were married to men many years older than them. In many cases the age was only between 10 to 13 years. All this happened due to legal flaws. Even today, 41 states of America have such a law, which allows marriage under the age of 18 years, provided parental permission or court approval is obtained.

There are laws, but shortcomings made everything a joke
The report states that the legal age of consent in America is 18 years. But exemptions like parental permission and judicial approval have made it a joke. In many states, marriage of girls up to 14 years of age can also be done with the permission of the court. That is, the country which teaches “rule of law” to the world. There the law itself stands against the children.

Children become victims of ‘child marriage’: the sting of trauma and violence
Experts say that child marriage is not just a legal crime but a stain on humanity. Children involved in such marriages have to face sexual abuse, physical violence and mental trauma. The NGO’s report says, “The permission of child marriage in a developed country like America is shameful. It shows that the childhood of children is being crushed in the name of civilization and law.”

Preaching to the world, but when to change yourself?
America has always been giving knowledge to India and other countries on women safety, gender equality and human rights. But when it comes to his country, he seems to be standing at the back. People are asking on social media, “What will the country which could not stop the marriage of a 10-year-old girl teach others?”
