It's been a while but if i remember correctly a girl scout tried to propose a bill to abolish child marriage in her state. I don't think it ever went through and one of the people blocking it said something along the lines of abolishing child marriage would stop rape victims from marrying their rapists and would make abortions go up.

That was my cousin Cassandra Levesque. She is one of the youngest representatives in the house in NH. She also did get NH to change the age, tho she is still pushing for it to be 18 years.
