Courtney Stodden Cheers Cheers CA Bill to End Child Marriage Nearly to Newsom’s Desk
The California bill to ban child marriage unanimously passed the State Senate Wednesday … and Courtney Stodden is losing her mind with glee.
The bill is just one more vote away from getting to Gov. Newsom — and obviously CS is thrilled her lobbying for the bill may have helped with its success.

This is a BFD to Courtney … who for years has been saying her marriage to Doug Hutchison when he was 51 and she was just 16 did her a lot of psychological harm.
California is oddly the only one of three states that does not have age restrictions on marriage, with parental consent — this bill changes that to 18.
CS has been a staunch supporter of Unchained At Last, an organization that’s leading the fight to end child marriage in the United States.
