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

im not a pedophile

im simply telling you what happens here

i thought that in the West you didn’t marry children 🤔

that is what you said

I meant that in "We see it as morally wrong"

in some states its legal when it shouldnt be

what is morally wrong about it?

in the simplest way you can explain it

what is immoral about it?

what if the roles were REVERSED

okay

theres a miscommunication still
