1. That's one tough hyphen you got there

Anti-Child Marriage is a whole lot different than being against child-marriage, or more clearly put: a bill to prevent children from marrying adults.

2. Could this be about the influence of our Indian and Middle Eastern

investors and business partners on the Chamber of Commerce and the Republican Party? There may be more behind this than meets the eye. India is notorious for marriages of children. There is an Indian movie, Water, about a child who is already a widow and is placed in a home for widowed women.
