    The legislation is personal for Rehder, who was married at age 15 to her 21-year-old boyfriend in 1984. A year earlier, her sister, at age 16, married her 39-year-old drug dealer, she has said.

    That’s the reality of child marriage. It’s exploitation and child molestation. Keep in mind these are the same people who want LGBT+ people exterminated for being “groomers.” The accusation is a confession.
