ICYMI, last week we covered child marriage, marijuana bans, and suspicious chorizo burritos. Check out Law Street’s top trending stories below!

1. Public Uproar: Turkey Moves Ahead With Child Marriage Law

It is hard to believe that in 2016 in a European country, a government could propose a new law that would make child marriage legal, and also protect rapists from being punished by the law as long as they marry their victim. But that is exactly what is happening in Turkey. The new bill was approved on Thursday and is scheduled to undergo a final vote on Tuesday. If it passes, it will take away the punishment for sexual assault if there is no force or if the victim and perpetrator are married. This would include girls under the age of 18. So how could sexual assault without force be criminalized, and how could sexual violence in marriages be punished? Put simply: they likely couldn’t be. Read the full article here.

2. Will Trump’s Attorney General Pick Enforce the Federal Ban on Marijuana?

Days after eight states voted to legalize marijuana in some form or to expand existing laws, President-elect Donald Trump picked Sen. Jeff Sessions, a vocal critic of legalization, to head the Justice Department as the new attorney general. With the disparate marijuana laws between the federal government and states, marijuana and criminal justice advocacy groups, not to mention users and regulated sellers, are expressing concerns about how the Trump Administration would affect the state-level legal market.

3. Duped by ‘300-Calorie’ Burrito, Chipotle Customers File Lawsuit

Three Chipotle customers in Los Angeles got more than they were hoping for when trying out the chain’s new Chorizo Burrito–well, more calories that is.

Three Chipotle customers in Los Angeles got more than they were hoping for when trying out the chain’s new Chorizo Burrito–well, more calories that is.

In a class action lawsuit filed last week, the diners allege that they were “lulled into a false belief” that Chipotle’s new burrito is much healthier than it really is, due to misleading nutritional information.

The burrito, which comes filled with grilled chicken, pork sausage, white rice, black beans, fresh tomato salsa, and a sprinkle of cheese, is seemingly billed on the overhead menu as having 300 calories.

@ChipotleTweets if a tortilla from chipotle has 300 calories by itself, how does a chorizo filled burrito also have only 300 calories??? pic.twitter.com/inepf71HKC

One plaintiff claims that after ordering the Chorizo Burrito he “felt excessively full and realized that the burrito couldn’t have been just 300 calories,” according to the complaint.

The online nutrition calculator on Chipotle’s website estimates that, when added up, the burrito’s calorie count is more than triple that much, totaling over 1,000 calories.

Chipotle clarified on Twitter that the “300 calories” on the menu is for the chorizo alone, and apologized for the confusion. However, the plaintiffs claim the poor signage is part of a pattern in which the chain presents misleading nutritional information.

@LidiyaKravchuk I’m sorry for the confusion, but we’ll make things more clear next time. The 300 calories is for the chorizo. -Gabe

A Chipotle spokesman refused to comment on the pending legal matter, but added, “a lawsuit is nothing more than allegations and is proof of nothing.” Still, this is yet another embarrassing blow to the Tex-Mex chain that’s still struggling to recover after E. coli, salmonella, and norovirus outbreaks caused both its sales and stock price to plummet.
