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
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
it still happens in the west
and we shouldnt have
infact, our concept of marriage came from the west!
there is nothing wrong with arranged marriages
theyve been given a bad name by muslims
there is its called statutory rape
