You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand that you’re concerned about child marriages, but this marriage took place overseas and would not be covered by UK legislation.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, if you’d like the legal minimum age for marriage to be increased, you could start a petition asking for that.
