RALEIGH, N.C. Senators walked back a proposed bill that would ban child marriages in North Carolina, but amended it to match the state s laws on statutory rape.
Senate Bill 35, in its original form, would have banned anyone under 18 from marrying.

Danny Britt said. What we wanted to do was come up with a bill that would take us off that list and protect these children.
