I've been looking around and can't find exactly what I'm looking for.

What would this have done exactly? How would the money have been spent? What age limits is it wanting to enforce and how? From what I found it's not just talking about the USA but WORLDWIDE so I'm confused about the details and what anyone was going to actually do if it passed.

The Republicans are citing funding and pro life issues with it.

They have their own bill: H.R. 6521 - Summary: International Prevention of Child Marriage Act of 2010 (GovTrack.us)

Odd, isn't it? This also goes against their ardent support of Islam. I thought we weren't supposed to be concerned with the cultural and religious practices of other countries?

Would this be anyone under 18? I wouldn't support banning that.

I have a question, how does the United States through a bill here in the USA force social and cultural change in lets say Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, China and so forth?
Our Presidents don't even have the b@lls to bring up China's pollution much less this kind of problem.

What does this bill do that will make these changes, because if something can really change across the world by these bills then can't we have them write a bill telling Islam to quit beating women, cutting heads off and homicide bombing in the name of Allah? Just saying.

What specifically does the bill do?
Is there money going out with this we need to follow (follow the money)?
Would it be a waste of time and all the money we don't have?
