r/worldnews - Dominican Republic bans child marriage. 36% of Dominican girls were married before the age of 18, which is the highest rate in Latin America and the Caribbean. In 12% of unions, the bride was less than 15 years old.

It's about time they caught up to the u.s.... oh wait.... Is there a significant proportion of marriages involving minors in the US? I really didn’t know.
