ORIGINAL: DomKen Marriage before 18 is not child marriage. Way to make up your own facts there. Really? Marriage at 9 (which is before 18) is not child marriage? What you mean to say is *some* marriage before 18 is not child marriage. Agreed. But the UN doesn't keep any better statistics that I know of. And it is widely considered an accurate measuring stick for actual child marriage. Nice try. Notice you still haven't condemned muslim pedophilia. Why is that? It depends on the culture. We here are able to marry legally at aged 16 - still below your quoted age of 18. Would you classify that as pedophilia and rape? Many other countries and cultures are also legally allowed to marry before aged 18. In Poland, Romania, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Argentina and Peru, the legal age is 16. In Mali, Benin, Niger, DRC, Cameroon, Iran, Costa Rica and Gabon, it's 15. In Bolivia, Venezuela, Mexico, Mozambique and Madagascar, it's 14. Equatorial Guinea is 12. In Sudan and Saudi Arabia there is no age limit whatsoever. Source: http://chartsbin.com/view/sr6 And note that quite a few of those countries are not Islamic, but Christian (notably Catholic). Across India and other muslim countries, being betrothed before teenage years is very common and accepted in that culture. Whilst we in the west deplore such arrangements and call it pedophilia, in many other cultures it's perfectly acceptable and universally allowed. And who are we to judge others by our own moral yardstick? Pot and kettle come to mind here [:D]
