A new California law bans child marriage. What's the global outlook on the practice?
The governor of California has signed into law a ban on child marriage. What is the status of other efforts to ban the practice? And do bans prove effective?
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as California banning child marriage and both include Gavin Newsom’s praise of the measure as long overdue. Newsweek alone uses the map framing in its headline, while the BBC alone adds that the practice is still legal in 32 US states. The extracts otherwise closely match in their description of the governor’s comment.
