THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CRITICIZES OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ALLOW CHILD
MARRIAGE, BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES
THOUSANDS OF YOUNG GIRLS HAVE GOTTEN MARRIED UNDERAGED,
AND HAVE DONE IT LEGALLY.
THERE IS AN ORGANIZATION CALLED UNCHAINED AT LAST, AND THEY
DO STUDIES AND LOOK INTO THE ISSUE OF CHILD MARRIAGE IN
THE UNITED STATES.
THEY LOOKED AT DATA FROM 2000 ñ 2010,
AND THEY FOUND THAT GIRLS AS YOUNG AS 12
YEARS OLD GET MARRIED OFF HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
"LAWS IN 27 STATES DO NOT SPECIFY AN AGE BELOW WHICH
A CHILD CANNOT MARRY."
MOST STATES INDICATE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE 18 YEARS OLD IN ORDER
TO GET MARRIED, BUT SOME STATES MAKE EXCEPTIONS.
FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU ARE IN IDAHO, AND YOU HAVE
UNDERAGED DAUGHTER THAT YOU WANT TO MARRY OFF, ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS GIVE THE COURTS YOUR CONSENT AS A PARENT, AND
THAT YOUNG GIRL CAN GET MARRIED.
NOW, "IN 38 STATES, MORE THAN 167,000 CHILDREN ñ
ALMOST ALL THEM GIRLS, SOME AS YOUNG AS 12 ñ
WERE MARRIED DURING THAT PERIOD, MOSTLY TO MEN 18 OR OLDER."
IS ESTIMATED THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CHILDREN WED IN
AMERICA BETWEEN 2000 AND 2010 WAS NEARLY 248,000.
WOW.
I HOPE THE MULLAHS THAT MARRIED THEM ARE HAPPY AND PROUD.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS THAT PEOPLE SOMETIMES GIVE AS TO
WHY WE SHOULD INVADE FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
LOOK AT THESE PEDOS MARRYING KIDS AT 12 OR 13.
NOW, IT'S NOT A BAD POINT, OF COURSE IN THAT THAT IS A
TERRIBLE WAY TO CONDUCT AFFAIRS.
IS NOT A GOOD POINT AS TO WHY WE SHOULD INVADE THEM.
IF YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD REASON AS TO WHY WE SHOULD INVADE
THEM, WEST VIRGINIA AND IDAHO, BUCKLE UP BECAUSE WE ARE
ABOUT TO INVADE YOU.
OBVIOUSLY SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY ARE MORE USED TO
THIS THAN OTHERS.
RIGHTS, AND I THINK THAT OUR AUDIENCE IS SMART, AND THEY
KNOW THAT ANYTIME SOMEONE USES THAT EXCUSE TO INVADE A
COUNTRY, IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT PROTECTING YOUNG GIRLS FROM
CHILD MARRIAGES.
THERE ARE ALSO THE OTHER CORRUPT REASONS WHY THE INVADE
OTHER COUNTRIES.
BUT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT YOU
SEE IN VARIOUS RELIGIONS.
IT'S NOT JUST MUSLIMS, OR CHRISTIANS, YOU ALSO SEE
THIS TREND WITH SOME ORTHODOX JEWS AS WELL.
SO, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE RELIGION IS, YOU SEE IT
WITH FUNDAMENTALISTS IN THE COUNTRY.
ALSO, "AT LEAST 31% WERE MARRIED TO A SPOUSE AGED 21 OR OLDER,"
WHICH IS INSANE.
"SOME CHILDREN WERE MARRIED AT AN AGE, OR WITH SPOUSAL AGE
DIFFERENCE, THAT CONSTITUTE STATUTORY RAPE UNDER THEIR
STATE'S LAWS."
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.
SOME OF THESE, I UNDERSTAND, 18-YEAR-OLD GUY IS GETTING
MARRIED TO A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL, THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO AND.
NOW, I THINK THAT IS WAY TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED, BUT
THAT'S LIKE, MY OPINION MAN, AND IT'S A FREE COUNTRY.
SO THE PARENTS GIVE CONSENT AND IT'S NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE.
NOW, IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE ABOVE THE AGE OF 21 MARRYING SOMEONE
AS YOUNG AS 12, 13, ETC., AND THAT IS ACTUALLY STATUTORY RAPE,
UNLESS THE PARENTS GIVE CONSENT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, THEN WE
HAVE A REAL ISSUE.
THIS IS INSANE.
THE REASON WHY YOU SEE THIS HAPPEN AMONG MORE RELIGIOUS
FAMILIES IS BECAUSE THE GIRL WILL BE UNDERAGE, SHE'LL GET
PREGNANT, AND THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR FAMILY HONOR.
YOU SEE THAT SAME KIND OF ARGUMENT BEING MADE HERE IN THE
U.S.,
WE DON'T WANT TO BE EMBARRASSED AS A FAMILY SO YOU HAVE TO
MARRY THE PERSON GOT YOU PREGNANT.
THERE WAS A STORY IN THE MIAMI HERALD, INVOLVING AN
UNDERAGE GIRL WHO WAS RAPED, AND HER FAMILY PRESSURED HER TO
MARRY THE PERSON WHO RAPED HER BECAUSE SHE GOT PREGNANT.
THESE TYPES OF STORIES SOUND SO HIDEOUS, AND YOU THINK THEY
WOULDN'T HAPPEN HERE IN THE U.S.,
BUT THEY DO, AND IT GOES UNREPORTED, AND I'M GLAD
THERE'S ORGANIZATION LOOKING INTO THIS AND INVESTIGATING IT.
THE OTHER REASON IS, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, THE NEW TESTAMENT AND
THE QURAN, THE WHOLE THING IS, GET MARRIED RIGHT AWAY AND HAVE
AS MANY KIDS AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE GOD AND ALLAH ALL NEED A
BIGGER ARMY.
SO GET MARRIED AS WEEKLY AS YOU CAN AND HAVE AS MANY KIDS
AS POSSIBLE.
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE A LOT OF MORMONS GET MARRIED VERY YOUNG,
THE MORE RELIGIOUS YOU ARE THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO GET
MARRIED VERY YOUNG, BECAUSE THAT'S THE PROPAGANDA.
WHEREAS, SECULAR PEOPLE WAIT TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A DECENT MATCH,
AND UNTIL THEY GET THEIR FEET UNDER THEM.
YOU CAN SEE YOU ARE MY PROCLIVITIES LIE.
NOW, I GOT MARRIED AT 38,
SO MAYBE A BIT OF AN EXTREME EXAMPLE.
I THINK PRESSURING YOUNG KIDS TO GET MARRIED WHEN THEY ARE VERY
YOUNG IS A TERRIBLE IT ñ TERRIBLE IDEA, BUT IT'S
ANOTHER THING WHEN YOU HAVE ISSUES OF STATUTORY RAPE.
RELIGION DOESN'T MAKE THAT GO AWAY.
THAT'S STILL A REAL PROBLEM.
ALSO, GIRLS WHO GET MARRIED AT AN EXTREMELY YOUNG AGE
SUFFER A LOT OF HEALTH AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES.
APPARENTLY, "WOMEN WHO MARRY AT 18 OR YOUNGER FACE A 23% HIGHER
RISK OF HEART ATTACK, DIABETES, CANCER AND STROKE THAN DO WOMEN
WHO MARRY BETWEEN AGES 19 AND 25, POLITICALLY ñ PROBABLY
BECAUSE MARRIAGE CAN LEAD TO INCREASED STRESS AND LOSS
OF EDUCATION."
YOU HAVE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO BE STRESSED OUT BY YOUR SPOUSE.
I KNOW IN THIS CASE DAYS YOUNG GIRLS DON'T ñ IN THIS CASE,
THESE YOUNG GIRLS DON'T HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS, BUT IF YOU CAN
HOLD OFF, HOLD OFF AS LONG AS YOU CAN.
BY THE WAY, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THEY USED TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO
GETTING MARRIED YOUNGER ñ AND I SAY TRICK, HOBBIES BASED ON MY
OPINIONS ñ IS THEY SAID, YOU CAN HAVE SEX UNTIL YOU GET MARRIED.
SO THEN YOU GET THESE HORNY TEENAGERS THAT ARE BURSTING AT
THE SEAMS, FINE I'LL GET MARRIED RIGHT AWAY!
IT'S THE OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK, THE GOOD BOOK, IF YOU
WILL.
CAN YOU IMAGINE, FOR THE REST OF US IN THE RATIONAL WORLD ñ YOU
GET MARRIED, 30, 27,
WHATEVER IT IS, DON'T HAVE SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE.
OKAY, WHATEVER DUDE.
IF THAT SAME THING WITH THE SUICIDE GUYS START THE ONES
WHO HAD TO THE SUICIDE BELT?
JUST GO, YOU 1ST.
THE ONE TO SAY, DON'T HAVE SEX UNTIL YOU ARE MARRIED AT 27?
YOU FIRST.
YOU DO YOU, WE'LL DO US.
