Lawmakers in the U.S. state of Washington have unanimously passed House Bill 1455, a proposal to ban child marriage on the first day of the first legislative session, as reported by The Spokesman-Review. The bill now awaits introduction into the state Senate. Washington could thus become the 11th state to ban child marriage.
