Senator jackson and the aclu forced him to change direction. When we proposed the 18minimum, we knew that there were certain circumstances. We just hadnt heard them yet. Reporter the aclu argued that not all underage marriages are coercive and theres not enough data to make a decision about the issue. So they passed a new version that required a Court Counselor to individually interview anyone under 18 who wants to get married.

Reporter now, the bill passed unanimously out of the committee and now goes to the assembly where they can also make some amendments. But again, a surprising amount of debate on an issue that some people say is very simple. Why dont you tell us more about that . Tell us more about the bill and why there is such a heavy opposition to this blanket ban on underage marriage . Reporter well, some advocates for children, people who work with children say people who are under age want to get married because they want to get out of the foster care system, for example. Or if theyre underage and pregnant they want to sort oflegitimize their family and make it legal. Those are the kind of things the collection of data will clarify. The number of petitions and the circumstances of those petitions so we can have a better sense of generally what the poplition is were looking at. So the next time this comes up, it will be better informed and better targeted. Veronica. Melissa caen live at the capitol. Thank you. Here at 6 00 a devastating blow to a bay area athlete.
