BBC World Service - Newshour, Child Marriage in the United States

Legal loopholes mean that thousands of children get married to adults across all states.

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

A special report on the issue of child marriage in the United States, where in the past 15 years more than 200,000 minors have been legally allowed to wed.

Also on the programme: we hear from the young graduates under pressure to meet ends meet in Beijing. And the perils of falling foul of the law in glittering Dubai.
