2 Women Share Child Bride Stories
When we hear about child brides, our minds normally go to young women overseas. But this terrifying practice happens right here in the United States. Ashley Duncan and Holly Rehder were both married at the age of 15 in Missouri, where it is legal with the consent of a parent.
Both women became pregnant and gave birth at a very young age. Holly is now a state legislator and she's hoping to bring stricter laws to help prevent marriage at such a young age. I am in complete shock that things like this can happen right in our own backyard.
Marriage is a lifelong commitment and most teens are not ready for this covenant. Both women have since divorced, but they are speaking up now to bring awareness to this pressing issue. I'm so glad they are brave enough to shed light on child marriage. What courage and strength!
