Indian Muslim girl tied to tree, flogged ‘for falling in love with Hindu boy’

Irrelevant. There are child marriages in the US. That is the point. No point to bash Muslims for doing this too as well.

irrelevant.

 

There is a point to 'bashing' anyone who does this, of any religion, or any colour, anywhere. Do you not agree?

 

Yup. But it's obvious you demand I jump on your muslim hate campaign, while the Christian and jewish faith are twice as bad in this department.

 

The child marriages in muslim countries are different.

On those (exceedingly) rare occasions that they do happen in the U.S., they only happen for the most appropriate of reasons (well, the most appropriate reasons possible for child marriage, anyway), and we're typically talking about older teenagers. The father, the mother, and the girl are all consenting, and it has to go through approval of a court-appointed social worker and a judge, who are in no rush to want to see a 14-year-old girl married.

Two very distant ends of the same spectrum.

 

Girls age 10, married people in their 20's and 30's in the US.
You calling this "most appropriate of reasons" to than bash Muslims...

lol

 

I specifically said (in my very first post in this thread) that this has nothing to do with Islam. Do you not read?

Meantime, what are you doing about condemning this stuff around the world? You do realise it's a MUCH bigger problem in the Brown lands, right? What are you doing about that?

 

The only people marrying children to adults in my Western nation are people from cultures in which it's not uncommon. NONE of them are white. What do you think about that?

 

I'm pretty sure a 10 year old girl never married a 30 year old in the U.S.
Prove me wrong though, if you can.

I do have some interesting stories about this though. My grandma told me all her friends married when they were 16, but she waited till 18, and back then a girl had to be 21 to marry without the permission of her father.

Another old man told me when he was younger he went through North Carolina on a roadtrip and met a girl there and dated her for a few days. She was very interested in him and took him home to momma. He was 19 at the time, and he had just assumed she was an older teenager. Well, it turned out the girl was only 12 and the momma was anxious to marry her off! (The girl had four other siblings)
The man got the hell out of there as fast as he could.
This would have been in the 1960s, I'm assuming.

 

Yeah.

Just make sh-t up.

 

If we compare that to Islam,
It is a 50 year old marrying a 6 year old.

and that probably happens daily, because Big Mo did it, and whatever Big MO. does, is A-OK

 

your lefty buddies want this kind of law in america...stop drinking the koolaid!

 

I made reference to Judaism in an earlier post, and its practice of circumcising boys - I've made no mention of Christians mutilating children anywhere in this thread?

 

Yes, but what is the religion of the men that marry them in the US?

 

Every religion at some time has been used as justification for all manner of cruelty and percersion. What’s new?

 

number of fundamentalist mormons: 8000

number of muslims: 3.2 million
(not counting African-Americans associated with "the Nation of Islam" and related organizations)

 

This is in the US? Do you have a source for that? I'm struggling to find one.

 

Polygamy was outlawed in the church of Mormon, along with child marriage.
Some will still do it, but they are tossed out of the church.

 

OOPS ! ‘Percersion? I meant perversion. On second thoughts it could be a useful term with a meaning of being coerced into a form of perversion.

 

violent religious fanatics that believe in a God tend to do some horrendous things in the name of their religion sadly

 

I think it was good to stop Christians and Mormons from marrying children... though I am not sure Polygamy should be a crime, why should the government be able to tell you what consenting adults you can love

 

Polygamy of the kind where one male marries numerous females presents a hidden problem. What do those males left out of marriage due to lack of available females do for relationships? Given the condemnation of male/male sexual relationships by religious authorities a real problem presents itself unless we assume all the ‘left-over’ males become monks. As to what goes on behind the monestary walls after dark - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The real horror of what happens in these kinds of ‘spiritual’ groups is illustrated in ghastly detail in Flora Jessop’s autobiography ‘Church of Lies’ (publ:Wiley & Sons )

 

Yes, but athiest societies such as Stalin’s Russia weren’t exectly saintly either.

 

agree - dictators often fear religions unless they can control them, they either embrace them or attack them, Hitler and Stalin are an example of each side of that coin

 

bad things happen in monogamous relationships too, not saying any type of relationship is without issue, just feel that should be for consenting adults to decide rather then the government to decide for us, my preference is monogamous relationships, but that would be my choice, I do not need the government to decide for me

 

I don't think it was ever promoted in the Christian religions, however I am sure some did, but child in those cases, marriage was usually between two children.
I doubt, a marriage between a 50 year old and a 6 year old was ever accepted.
