Illinois lawmaker proposes raising minimum marriage age to 18 to ban child marriage.
Illinois lawmaker Rep. Joe Sosnowski has proposed a bill to raise the minimum marriage age to 18, aiming to ban child marriage in the state.
Currently, minors under 18 can marry with parental consent, but the new bill would close these loopholes if passed.
The legislation, if approved, would take effect two years later, making Illinois one of the few states to universally ban underage marriage.
