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
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
there is its called statutory rape
age of marriage =/= age of consent
as ive said before, we do not fuck children
it just isnt against the law to be married before you reach the age of consent
are the children allowed to divorce?
yes
then your age of consent is too low
what?
if they're allowed divorce that makes the situation much better than in places like, idk somalia
if a child can consent then the age of consent is too low
i did not say the child could consent
I think we have a fundamental misunderstanding somewhere
the federal age of consent here is 16
the local age of consent is 14
but you can be married at any age
at that point whats to stop the husband from coercing the child?
what do you mean?
the parents would arrange the marriage if it was between children
again fundamental missunderstanding
were talking about an adult married to a child
