New York only just ended child marriage โ€“ but what about the rest of America?

A small group of women dressed in wedding gowns stood outside Governor Andrew Cuomoโ€™s office on Wednesday and cried โ€œarms chained, mouths tapedโ€.

 

The demonstration was both a celebration and a warning. New York recently became the sixth US state to pass a bill banning all marriage before the age of 18 with no exceptions, however, as activists readily point out, there are still 44 states left to go.

 

In front of them stood New York Republican Mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa, who was there to deliver a letter demanding Mr Cuomo resign. An Attorney Generalโ€™s investigation concluded this week that Mr Cuomo had sexually harassed multiple women. The governor maintains he did nothing wrong and has vehemently refused to give up his position.
