Mark Hortman was a selfless husband and a dedicated father. He always put his family above himself and everyone who knew him knew that he was Melissa’s rock.

"Correlative studies show that those in child marriages are more likely to get divorced, less likely to finish high school or college, and more likely to be in abusive marriages." Child marriage is an aberration and we should make it illegal now, since we didn't yesterday.

In Mississippi, a boy must be 17 to get married. Girls can be 15.
This is why Republicans won't abolish child marriage.
