Quote by: loser Exactly what does "underage girls" mean? Are you implying that 14 or 15 years of age is too young for marriage? It's the laws that are bogus (especially Texas laws). There's little difference between the Texas 'militia' and Hitler's SS. Remember Waco? Same zealots, same war crime atrocities against helpless children. It makes my blood boil to see evil people step in and destroy happy and functional families. Maybe my views and your views do not align with these polygamists and separatists but that doesn't matter. Our country is founded on the principle of individual freedoms. The oppressive regime that we call our government once fought for freedom; now, it fights against it. If we can allow Satanists to practice their rituals, homosexuals to flaunt their perversions, promote adultery and prostitution by allowing nude dancers to accept money insertions, and a plethora of other less-than-optimum behaviors and actions that 'indoctrinate' our children, I don't see why we can't allow polygamy and 'child' marriage. It's not like it's unique or unheard of in the world. In fact, it is a quiet common practice all over the world. But even if we can't allow polygamy and child marriages, it is a travesty of justice to take these children from their mothers (where the likelihood of abuse is virtually non-existent) and put them into foster homes where abuse is almost certainly guaranteed. Isn't it amazing at just how selective tolerance can be?

14-15 is too young to marry and have sexual relations with men who are 40-50 period.
