In 25 states, there is no legal minimum age where children can get married. Forced marriages can happen at any age. Manipulation, communal pressure, coercion, blackmail, threats and physical abuse are all ways in which someone might be forced into a marriage. <\/p>\n<p>Nearly 250,000 U.S. children under the age of 18 entered into a marriage between 2000 and 2015, according to data collected by Unchained At Last. Recently, the Florida Legislature passed a bill prohibiting marriage for anyone under 17. A woman who was 11 when she was forced to marry her rapist worked for six years to help ban child marriages in Florida. <\/p>\n<p>Fraidy Reiss is the founder and executive director of Unchained At Last, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women and girls leave or avoid forced marriages and rebuild their lives.
