Child Marriage Prevention Act of 2026

The Child Marriage Prevention Act of 2026 establishes a federal commission to study child marriage in the United States and requires the Department of Justice to create a model state law that sets the minimum marriage age at 18. The bill also amends immigration laws to generally deny visas to spouses or fiancés who were under 18 years old at the time of their marriage, with limited exceptions for compelling humanitarian reasons. Additionally, the legislation prohibits the use of federal property to facilitate any marriage where one or both individuals are under 18 and provides grants to states that establish task forces to examine and address child marriage.
