Sometimes I feel New Jersey is part of the Dom Republic , or somehow secretly connected in some Political way.
1)- We have a CHILD SUPPORT Agreement with the DR.. you cant hide in NJ, if you owe Child Support in the DR..
2)- and just Recently they introduced EXACTLY the same type of Bill , to make the age of Marriage 18.. just months ago in fact .. We would be the FIRST in the whole Nation in fact
" .N.J. could be first to outlaw marriage under 18"
http://www.northjersey.com/story/ne...ould-first-outlaw-marriage-under-18/94338520/
here is the " reasoning"
I wonder if its the same Concept ???
" In the past couple decades, several thousand people have taken advantage of New Jersey's marriage laws to tie the knot before they turned 18. Those under 18 have needed permission from their parents to do so, while anyone 15 or younger has required the prior approval of a Superior Court judge.
Although the frequency of such unions recently dropped to a 20-year low, many lawmakers and activists now want to ban them altogether. New Jersey, they say, should become a national leader in reforming a system that exposes young people to forced or arranged marriages and often sets them up for a life of low educational achievement, poverty and abuse.
“There is a concern that children, through arranged marriages or otherwise, are being forced into an environment that may not be in their best interest,” said Reed Gusciora, D-Mercer. “Just to simply look the other way when children are getting married serves no public purpose.”
Not trying to go off topic, I just find this an amazing Coincidence though..
" Forced Marriages under 18"?? is there really such a thing going in in the DR ?/
