I have seen 15, 16, 17 year olds dating 21+ year olds, why can't they get married right then and there?
Do you really think a 21+ would want to marry a teenager? Most likely, the 21+ is dating the teen because teens are very easy to get in the bed. And by easy, I mean you can trick them into it.
And I've teens date adults to. And it only came around to bite the teens in the butt.
Why are you bringing up morality? Back in the day, it was ok for 15 year olds to start their family at that age, but it was still wrong for men and men to try to marry.
Why should the moral line move from where it is, and what makes gay people the ones with the moral high ground?
Currently, it is against the law for gay people to get married in how many USA states, 48 right?
Throw in the fact that the life expectancy was way shorter and it was usually arrange marriages and the 15 year old couldn't complain about it.
And I'll tell you why it's morally wrong to ask for a child in marriage and not two men doing it..
When two straight people get married, they CONSENT to it. Which means, they both want too and they both understand what's what. When two homosexuals consent, they BOTH agreed to it. The same thing
If you ask a child to marry you, she won't understand what's she's getting herself into. The adult is clearly taking advantage of the child's naive, innocent psyche.
It should not be allowed.
There is no point to it. In the bigger religions of America, they don't allow it because of Catholic/Christian/Islam don't allow it in Religion.
I've learned that the whole point of being married is having a kid.
That's the whole meaning of life. Get married, reproduce, die.
If you don't do anything that easy, you aren't really living life. I mean, what is the meaning of life? The meaning of life is to have life go on.
Are you kidding me? Life is not about getting married, reproducing, and then dying.
And stop with the religion bull. Church and state are suppose to be SEPARATE in America. (BTW, before anyone jumps down my throat, I'm a Christian)
