West Virginia bans marriage for children age 15 or younger

Previously, anyone younger than 16 could have gotten married with a judge’s waiver.

As the sun sets and Muslims around the world gather to break their daily fasts with generous dinners, Hadiiq Abdulle Mohamed and her family have just water and whatever food might be at hand.
