How old was he at the time?
Ah, so he’s a pedophile.
Edit: To the 9 people who downvoted this, the man was almost 40 when his 16 year old child bride gave birth to his child, according to the other information in this thread.
This pedophile is currently living in Ireland if I read correctly.
Like I know it’s a cultural thing. But it should be illegal. It’s just wrong for so many reasons.
Thankfully the OP “seems” to have had an alright time (at least from what was said), but how many had the opposite? Far too many, I would assume.
How does the law work in cases such as this? One in which you can prove he was by definition (in many places) a pedophile. Seeing as OP mentioned having a child at 16. I have no clue, but am sort of interested in how it would work.
Anyways. I think this sort of arranged marriage thing should be illegal, especially if the child is underage.
Where do you draw the line then? In many cultures it’s been 18 for a long time, but that’s not entirely unanimous or consistent throughout history.
In other countries 18 may sound too high or too low. Like in the case of Iran, it’s culturally acceptable to marry much younger than that, and Europe used to be like that as well.
Given that there’s variation in this matter, it’s not immediately obvious how to define pedophilic activity. Depending on where you liven and which century it is, the definition may change considerably. If we apply current western definitions, you’re absolutely correct though.
If someone is into 5 year old children and wishes to have harmful relationships with them, it’s pretty clear that there needs be some laws against it. What about 15 or 17 then? Actually, there are also people much older than 20 and they’re still not ready to bear the responsibilities of parenting, so should the limit be even higher? I wish this was simpler.
