about child marriage?

yes

cause there's a big difference between someone marrying someone they love at 17 and a 10 year old being forced to abandon school and marry a 30 year old man

my grandmother married my grandfather at age 10 and theyve got one of the best relationships ive ever seen

but there's a huge, huge amount of times where the relationship isnt happy

where the girl is forced to abandon school and everything she's worked for

most of the time this is for other reasons

beaten, raped, have children against her will, etc

that is not an issue exclusive to child marriage

no but those issues are common in child marriage in the 3rd world

>3rd world

there is a lot more too it than their marriages being arranged at a young age

well yeah but it often goes together

@shlendie You’re conflating issues that might happen in third world countries and the marriage itself

correlation isnt causation

exactly

these issues arent exclusive to child marriage, and certainly arent because of it

its immoral the child wasnt in puberty yet

why is it immoral to arrange a marriage before puberty?

you are not forcefully fucking a child

it is just a marriage arrangement

I don’t think it’s right or healthy, but it isn’t rape

and consummation traditionally (where im from, at least) waits until after puberty

perhaps it is different in third world shit holes in the sand box

but i certainly dont support pedophilia

I think it’s a life affecting decision and the child isn’t developed enough to make responsible decisions

marriage is not the child's decision alone

No, but it requires their input

develpement isnt the issue its sexual developement

I personally was just talking about young girls being forced to marry a stranger against their will and not being able to escape in the 3rd world

humans dont fully developed untill 25

At a certain point people are able to have forethought and plan for the far future

A child can’t do that

marriage is also seen differently in places where arranged marriages are common

@Reeves !Musicbot you said you werent from armerica where are you from?

where i live marriage is not just about love, but also to maintain family status and wealth, and to bring another generation

i live in russia, murmansk oblast

well this is the west

Even with the prevalence of divorces, I still think that marriage is something someone should do once with the intention of a family

we dont marry children here

but you used to, friend
