Colombian lawmakers have approved a bill to eradicate child marriage in the South American country after 17 years of campaigning by advocacy groups and eight failed attempts to push legislation through the house and senate.
Over the past 5-6 years, Republicans have been actively fighting against minimum marriage age laws in ~12-13 states IIRC.
Not surprising at all.
