Beasley signs marriage age bill in South Carolina
Gov. Beasley signed a new state law setting marriage ages at 14 for girls and 16 for boys. The measure follows reports of young girls forced into arranged marriages in Murphy Village, Aiken County. The same bills raise penalties for shooting bald eagles and other birds of prey, and classify inmate hostage-taking as a Class A felony with up to 30 years in prison.
