Advocates and child marriage survivors from the group “Unchained at Last” put on wedding gowns, veils, chains and tape over their mouths as they gather on Boston Common before marching to the State House to call for an end to child marriages in Boston, Massachusetts on September 22, 2021. Currently 44 states in the US allow for marriage under the age 18 and the group states that according to a study they did that between 2000 and 2018 some 300,000 children, as young as 10, were legally married in the US.
