    Should any child be allowed to marry? These women say no.
    The idea of it surprised Sheila Cook-Cohen, then it shocked her:
    Child marriage. “Spouses” as young as 12 married to adults. Legally.
    And it wasn’t happening two centuries ago. It’s happening now.
    The phenomenon touches most of the United States, including California, where current law allows such unions to take place with the permission of one parent and authorization of a judge. Only four states completely ban child marriage, and that has happened only since last year.
