Child Marriage "shocking And Acceptable"

[vetuste_ennemi]

Full quote from the article below is "The U.N. children agency called the latest child marriage 'shocking and acceptable.'".

A think there's a typo somewhere in that phrase.

This is Malaysia, showcase for multiculturalism and diversity.

Interestingly there are quite a few states in the USA that don't have minimum age for marriage providing parents agree....some very young brides can be found over there.....

Spath so much to address so little time...

Yes I was home schooled, but my parents are very chill and open about sex, sexuality etc and I was fully informed about everything and anything I could possibly wish to know, but not all people are that lucky so school sex education, good education is imperative.


//I think if you're over 25, and you're honest with yourself and your partner as to what you want, then it doesn't matter. But if you still wish a physically fit man, in ten years time, maybe you need to be less opinionated and a bit more open minded to the fact everyone is an individual regardless of age?//

Well lets see, I couldn't care less about wanting a 'physically fit man in ten years time', is that what you really think love is about? If so then as I suggested your level of small mindedness and immaturity is exactly why I prefer to date older men. Also about the ages of people my man's previously been out with, most being in or around his own age group, give or take 10 years. He doesn't //go for 20 year olds.. Obviously ;)// , that is just offensive however you care to wrap it up, try to spin it, both to him and to me, and yes I see us being together forever, he is the first and only man I would marry and have children with and I said I would never do either. Time will tell on that obviously.

With regard to your inaccurate information regarding living away from home under 16, don't take my word for it. It's called 'age of discretion'.

//Can I legally stop my child leaving home?
A parent cannot stop a child leaving home by locking them in or physically restraining them. But parents have a legal responsibility for their children welfare until their child reaches 16, so they can take action in court to bring their child back if he or she runs away and is in danger. Once the child has reached what is known as the ‘age of discretion’ (around 16) it is very unlikely that the court would force the child back home, unless it could be shown that the child was in danger.

The argument about marriageable age/age of consent in any country or at any point in history is a smokescreen and serves only to detract from the subject. There is no minimum age for marriage within Islam. In fact the Koran gives advice to men on divorcing their pre-pubescent wives.

To those who advocate education, how do you begin to educate those who do not want the education you offer? Why would they? Their way is the right way and they know it’s right because their God, and their prophet (the perfect man, a beacon for all to emulate) tell them so. How are you going to convince them that you are right when they know for a fact that Allah and Mohammed are infallible?

Spath, //The education should be from the parents//

The parents do educate their children. They raise them to follow Islam.

You didn't bother to read the links or quotes at all did you? Courts can decide to send someone under 16 back or not, good grief, you are so selective in your posts. There is a 15 year old living in the town in emergency B&B, as there are all over the country.

See the second option here too for under 16 year olds 'emergency accomodation' but you probably won't bother reading that either.

Time will indeed tell Spath, but don't expect a thread on it, that will NEVER happen.

Talbot should have read 'teenage pregnancy rates', apologies.

[dunnitall]

This Is what IMO comes from mixing cultures. Ne'er the twain shall meet or agree with how lives differ. Why do we have to introduce other cultures into a land or community that has no idea of their way of life? I doubt it would be accepted in tribes of other countries so why accept it or be forced to accept it here?

This I what is SO wrong with multiculturalism...it does not work. We have all been brought up in what applies to specific peoples in different lands our own for sure. Why should we be forced into accepting others' beliefs if we have our own??

[kvalidir]

Emergency accomodation is usually B&B and as I said it's not at all unusual at 15, Social Services arrange it, why do you just not accept facts?

[naomi24]

spath, your separate conversation with kvalidir is taking v_e's thread way off track.

[kvalidir]

Apparently you don't though Spath, you just arrogantly think you do. Read the links properly. I'll tell you something else you will be shocked at, Social Services frequently permit under 16's who are having sex together to live in one or other's parent's house if they can't live at their own home, ie with their boyfriend or girlfriend. You really have no idea about the real world do you?

[kvalidir]

Yes apologies VE went off on a bit of a tangent there x

[sanmac]

A very good point, naomi24. I've noticed that longish threads tend to go somewhat off-track to a certain extent; however, this aside between two posters, although perhaps interesting to them and some others, is complete de-railment.
