Absolutely.
I have always said that forced and underage marriage is nothing less than child abuse. We have laws against child abuse. Therefore, this should be considered child abuse. It's the first form of child abuse.
I am very glad that our government is taking such a keen interest in this. There are thousands of young women and children out there who would otherwise not be protected. This law will give them....
Needless to say, a law doesn't eradicate such practices totally, but it definitely becomes a deterrent to those who think they can get away with it.
