We need to raise the age of consent to age 20 or 21.

STOP saying "marry" girl children. SAY they are torturing and unaliving girl children through grape and sl avery

I'm not a religious man but if someone seriously used my god to justify pedophilia I would call that person a disgrace to my faith.

As a young guy i always feel embarrassed how these old guys target young beautiful and innocent girl just for their pleasure this has to be stop

Most teenagers are not mature emotionally to make sound decisions.  They are brainwashed.

19 and married with no education. What happens when hubby leaves or dies? She has no way to support herself.

Anybody ever notice how anything reprehensible that's attributed to 'culture' only hurts women, not men?

Let's be clear. There is no such thing as child marriage. It is child RAPE and SLAVERY.  Those poor little girls don't have a chance at being free when enslaved and tortured at such a young age. How will they ever get out without access to education or some SANE people who will rip them out of those bonds? It is beyond sad and infuriating.

"Parental rights" is always specifically the parental "right" to treat their children as property.

My mother was coming from a poor family and met my father who was more wealthy...same story. She was 21 , he was 45 years old. He loved the control. She was completely dependent.

They say anything to justify marrying actual babies but I bet they’d miraculously change their minds if boys under 18 were forced to marry to adult women as much as girls are.

This right here is one of the reasons why a lot of women and some men do not want to have children, especially daughters. It’s not the only reason, but it’s one of the reasons.

The parents are to blame. They treat them like cattle

Once when I was 19 and even looked younger I was having a sort of hard time deciding about things in my life so I wanted to take a road trip. It was before everyone had gps  google maps on their phone. I used a road map and drove several states away. On my way home I was about 60 miles from home and ran out of gas and money. I went into a Walmart and explained to the lady I needed to use a phone as I was stranded. A man overheard me and watched me from afar. After I called my family I was sitting on a bench waiting and a thr man came and sat next to me and said he heard I was stranded and out of money and he knew how I could make some money. So he was wanting to traffick me obviously. I told him my family is on their way to get me and the look of absolutely hate mixed with disappointment he gave me when he walked away was something Ill never forget but showed me how very short a time it takes for predators to move in when they think a young girl or woman is vulnerable.

The women who allow that to happen in south sudan, are just as sick as the men. There is no excuse to support pedophilia just because you were abused. That made my stomach drop hearing the girl screaming, seeing those women grab her made me see red. Too many women are helping these men do this. Propping up the system that exploits them. 9 years old and pregnant? Sick sick sick!!!

Stop saying God and marrying a child in the same sentence. Just diabolical.

Sick world

LETS USE THEIR SAME ARGUMENT FOR ABORTIONS THEN.......THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO BUSINESS TELLING US WHAT WE CAN DO WITH OUR KIDS!!!!! 💯🤦🏾‍♀️🤮🤷🏾‍♀️

🚨🧠Since the begining of time with Patriarchal societies like ours and all around the globe, man have taken away women rights and whatever they can take from them, so they can have acess to their bodies and their service for free or the least resistence. That's the core of CORE of Patriarchy, with men keeping and controlling all life resources and women submitting and serving in exchange for survival. Thanks for expossing these predators, weak, sex addicts men.

All I know and can share is I married at 22 and I was overjoyed, I was an adult, making an adult decision.  The thing is……I WAS TOO YOUNG to fully grasp what marriage was, what it entailed.  My husband was a horrible, slavering BEAST who didn’t change until the slave contract was signed.  Of COURSE if I had been more experienced, I WOULD HAVE SEEN THE HATEFUL, SLOBBERING HYENA THAT HE TRULY WAS.
