Advocates warn Connecticut could become a haven for child marriage as other states raise legal age to 18

HARTFORD — Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz on Monday threw her support behind an effort to raise Connecticut’s minimum marriage age to 18, warning lawmakers that the state risked becoming a haven for adults seeking to force teenage women into abusive marriages.
