California has officially banned marriages for minors, setting the minimum marriage age at 18, effective January 1, 2027. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the law, which ends a practice that was previously allowed under certain conditions. The legislation was supported by advocates like Courtney Stodden, who shared her own experience of marrying at 16. This change makes California the 18th state to prohibit such marriages, following a trend of increasing restrictions across the U.S. Activists highlight the need for protection against systemic violence and abuse in these situations, as many minors lack the means to escape abusive relationships. The law aims to safeguard young individuals from early and potentially harmful marriages.
