A bill to prohibit minors from getting married in West Virginia was resurrected in the state Senate on Thursday, a day after its defeat in a committee. However, the about-face doesn't necessarily give the bill a clear path to passage.
“What we have here is a good bill, because it does recognize that we aren’t in the 1950s or ’60s,” Woelfel said. “I think we’re moving into the modern era with this.”
Putnam County Republican Sen. Eric Tarr said he got married in high school but understands problems need to be addressed in the bill.
