That China Vietnam thing
That I'm supposed to know about but don't
no caring about Vietnam went out of style a few decades ago

also who is pingu
he is the betrayer
age of marriage =/= age of consent
nothing fucked up about it
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
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
