        You need to sort out the issue of child bride in the US before tackling the problem in other countries

        Lol it does have something to do with Islam, Muhammad’s child bride was like 6 when he married her and 9 when he raped her. He even beat her, it’s literally in the Quran

        Everything you just said was wrong. She was not 6. He didn't hit any of his wives and that certainly isn't in the Quran.

        A child bride is part of their culture so we cannot be biased because our own cultural standards differ however marrying your daughter is incestuous and should be criminally outlawed!!!

        Protecting children (and women) from abuse should be a universal law.

        Please do not think that it is our culture. The majority of us do not condone such actions. However some of the people here are so small minded and thick headed to think that this is okay when it is definitely not. ☺

        It has something to do with the Islamic culture. Don’t care how offended you are, if a man marries a child because his culture allows him to do it then his culture is inferior to mine and needs to be taken down.

        There is a very specific Tenet in The Koran that expressly forbids any form of child abuse as any follower of Islam would be aware off.There is a similar set of verses in The Bible,New Testament,that also does the same where The Lord Jesus talks about children.

        That is true but we cannot stand in Judgement and people must accept a moral responsibility for what is right and wrong for themselves in full knowledge of the truth of what is right and what is wrong.

        I can't see the attraction in having a child bride. Then you have to go to bed so damn early in the evening, every day...? It's certainly not for me.
