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

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

why would the husband coerce the child?

because hes muslim idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

we are not muslims, fortunately
