Tears of joy roll down my face - UK bans child marriages

"Payzee Mahmod, Freedom United"

I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that the bill to ban child marriage in England and Wales has passed through parliament and received royal assent, making it law.
Thank you to each and every single one of you who signed my petition. Together, we called on the government to take action. That’s 254,000+ of you in our Freedom United community who demanded child marriage be banned!
