Child marriage, or marriage before the age of 18, is a human rights violation that remains widespread around the world—but most Americans are unaware that it is a significant issue in the United States. Child marriage remains legal in 43 states, and was legal in all 50 until 2018.

It is estimated that nearly 300,000 underage girls were married in the U.S. since 2000, with 86% marrying adult men. To make the population finally take notice of this national crisis, we joined forces with Unchained at Last, the only organization dedicated to ending forced and child marriage in the U.S. through direct services and advocacy, to deliver our message into a form that Americans can’t seem to turn away from: reality television.
