得克萨斯州立法者正在考虑堵塞一个允许未成年人结婚的漏洞,这是对年轻新娘离婚率高和自杀未遂率高的关切。 Texas lawmakers are considering closing a loophole that allows minors to marry, a concern due to high divorce and suicide attempt rates among young brides. 目前,最低结婚年龄为16岁,需要解放,但各州法律几乎没有提供保护。 Currently, the minimum age for marriage is 16, with emancipation required, but state laws offer little protection. 正在进行的立法会议将讨论更严格的准则,在13个禁止童婚的州采取类似行动之后。 The ongoing legislative session will discuss stricter guidelines, following similar actions in 13 states that have banned child marriages.
