Topic: The taboo of child marriages. - page 7. (Read 2246 times)
Premature marriage has a lot of harm, the children are also affected, and they also have the ability to teach children, child marriage is a kind of injury to children.
We are not in the middle age anymore, some cultures practices the young marriage but we are in the 21 century there is not need for that anymore.
Marriage that has not entered the age should not be done because it is very influential with other children, the influence is not a little but can be one country.
It should be! But we cannot suppress someones beliefs because its too sacred for them. We can't push ourselves to other people and make them believe what we believe. Maybe child marriage is a kind of tradition for some people passed from generation to generation originated by their ancestors.
Modern law and norms should supersede any tradition.

This is tradition - shall we still carry on practicing it?
Theocratic underdeveloped countries... and it's the people like those who are swarming Europe right now. Tho the child marriages are inhumane, they can't tell no to them, otherwise they'd be exiled or honor killed. Very few of them escape from that kind of life.
It's a big problem in muslim dominated countries, where people of other cultures are being victims to these practices. Imagine living in a country where 80% of people are muslims, but you're not and one day they come and take your child at gunpoint. Yes, that's what they do, they steal girls and rape them (officially they marry them, but it's an abduction and rape in modern world standards), and to finish convert them to islam. Only extermination will stop them in their savage ways.
Child marriages isn´t somethihng new in the world, this pratices is still in some cultures and well one have to respect them.
We all know it's not new... Even those countries are in part famous for these actions. We can respect them, but it's not a sane thing for a kid.
In my opinion, there's no reason to do that. A child shouldn't be forced to live those experiencies, I mean it's traumatic because children don't think in those stuff dude they're children come on, let them live their lives in peace, let them play, fall in love, find what they're good at, and decide their own future. And I don't know if my thoughts are right but I think that's like legal paedophile in a country, it really annoys me.

Poor boys, even for someone who is mature, it's difficult to get married. Now imagine a person that still wants to play with their friends and still is learning from the world. I know it's part from it's culture, but there's not a way this could be stopped?
Honestly it is inhumane in so many ways but I will briefly detail it.
1. You might not like the person at all. Infact, you may hate them. That is a big problem because you are spending the rest of your life with someone you hate.
2. It is forced and you are forced to stay. Most people are not allowed to have a divorce in many countries and you are forced to stay.
3. The human brain is not fully developed until between the ages of 22 to 27. Some people are sooner and some are later. The executive function is what Iam talking about, that is what fully develops between those ages. Long term planning, good judgement, money planning, house planning, family planning, etc. being married so young takes away your own free will to plan, especially at such a young age you literally have no idea.

Well considering that they're hurting the entire life of an innocent child, I'd say that their beliefs can take a running jump.If people's beliefs involve violence or incite violence, "respecting their beliefs" goes out of the window completely. Your mentality is similar to the people who were saying you shouldn't punch Nazis. Of course you should punch Nazis, because they're inciting violence against people of different races and religions and you need to keep people, the majority of whom are innocent, safe.
If these kids respect their parents' decision about who they should marry, that doesn't mean that they arranged marriages should exist. It just means that they should consent to the marriage which their parents want them to have, once they are of a reasonable legal age to consent to it.
Being forced to live with a person you barely know for the rest of your life, with no way out is totally horrifying. According to stats in Pakistan 20 percent of women are married before the age of 18, and most of these marriages are forced. To many it may seem like a high profile social issue, but if you think about it on a personal level you will realize that it is simply cruel. Forcing a child in a marriage, whose happiness is in playing freely and living peacefully with their parents, is no way fair. They barely know the meaning of marriage.
Marriage is actually intertwined with culture. Marriages is primarily cultural. That is why there are so many kinds and types of marriage as well as practices and beliefs and dogmas attached to it. However, when a certain cultural practice is so different from the rest of the world, it becomes unacceptable. To the eyes of the rest of the world, it should not be done. That is what is happening about child marriage. The world has become a single community that is why a certain practice cannot avoid the opinion, judgement, and comparisons made. And child marriage, according to so many different cultures, is not really ethical. That is why it earns a lot of condemnation across the world.
The concept of child marriage is unbearable for me. It's one of the brute offence prevailing in the society. It's strictly violation of human rights. The child brides are often exposed to sexual exploitation which leads to major serious health risks as premature pregnancy and sometimes even death. This serious issue is menacing the lives of millions young girls and devastating there future.
In my opinion it's a savagely punishable act and there must be some strict laws against this sin.

For me this is inhumane. Ive read a lot of articles about how human rights are fighting for it. A child, as early as 8 years old were given in marriage to a guy who's old enough to be their father. Some cases, little girls died after the sexual intercourse because their bodies are too young and cannot yet handle such activity. Why has the world is keeping a blind eye and deaf ear to this issue? Let those little kids be a kid and live as normal kids do. Let them enjoy childhood and dont let their innocence be taken away in such manner. I really hope and pray for this taboo to be an act punishable by law.

I can't imagine letting my child marry someone who she doesn't even know. Just imagine a man would even feel the same if you will be forced to marry someone who you don't even know. Marriage is something that you should think of carefully. It's not just a decision that you can should do carelessly.

Early marriage is not acceptable to me. it is very harmful to a child. it effects on her mind and body. but i saw that there are many reason for early marriage. almost the poor people are face this problem. I think financial and social issue is most reason.
