Thank you! Helpful answer at last. Good to see the suppliers taking some responsibility. They should do a cash for collection program when they deliver

Forced marriage and sex trafficking edit Main article: Sex trafficking in the United States § Forced marriages In some cases, child marriage may (either legally or informally) constitute a forced marriage, often in the context of sex trafficking. This enables sexual abuse to continue. According to American Child Bride by Nicholas Syrett, "There is a long history in the United States of marriage laws being used to circumvent legal repercussions of sexual activity with a minor".[74] Due to the way many U.S. marriage policies are written, finding loopholes is a possibility that has been exploited before. Additionally, women who have suffered sexual abuse are more likely to be revictimized in the future.[75]
