The bill to ban child marriage in Oklahoma has become law! Despite 36 Republicans voting against & Gov. Stitt declining to sign or veto, SB504 will go into effect without his signature. 18 to marry. No exceptions.

@MickeyDollens The peos will tell you this could involve two minors but the data is clear 86% of child marriages involve a female child being married to an adult male. unchainedatlast.org/child-marriage… Often it is used to bypass statutory rape laws. In that it could be a crime if they weren't married

@StatisticalMind @MickeyDollens Appreciate someone bringing data. 96% are 16-17yr olds, below that was already illegal.
