Currently more than two dozen U.S. states allow for marriage under the age of 18 under certain circumstances. A new bill up for debate in Congress calls for a national ban.

Child grooms, the U.N. further notes, may be forced into “an adult role for which they are unprepared,” with pressure to drop out of school and support a family. The U.N. has set the goal of ending child marriage by the year 2030. This …

Some of these reflections may seem dated, but much of it still resonates with modern-day women.  Here are the pieces of marriage advice from 1918 that still feel relevant: 1. ‘Do not marry at all’ cottonbro studio / Pexels This first piece of advice was perhaps the most radical. While many women today proudly choose to remain single, it was a far more extreme decision a hundred years ago, when many women were taught that their goal in life should be to find a husband.  The fact of the matter is — in 1918 and in 2026 — marriage benefits men more than it does women. The labor gap persists, and data show that having a husband results in 7 more hours of housework per week. …
