Damien, I have no Earthly idea.

Belchspeak, I’m confused… why is having a source who witnessed the problems first hand or has direct access to records of the problems such a bad thing?

[...] story (Feb 2009), that I’m just now hearing about due to some even nuttier recent updates (h/t Rob Taylor, btw I disagree w/ his assessment of Lancet). There’s a television network called Bridges TV, [...]

Child marriage and polygamy are now serious problems in the USA. We really are not prepared to split up African families in NYC. Polygamy in a small apartment is not safe and violates our laws.

The funny part is an ex girlfriend wanted to write a paper on this subject in grad school. Her professor turned down the topic and was angry that she learned of this situation from a law enforcement officer. It is funny how politics trump people in certain places.

DodiaFae,

How do you put things into perspective for people who refuse to get it?

Sorry, I was so disturbed by that picture and the subject of child marriage, I forgot to comment on the subject of the post…

I always call BS whenever any abuser or sexual predator blames anyone else for their actions. This case is no different. Abuse, in any form, is a choice. One can not force another to abuse. Are the authors of that study made up of Dereks and Marys? Enablers, victim blamers (seriously… “honor” killings???) and (this is a new one to me) race blamers? I mean, how do you put things into perspective for people like that so that they’ll “get it”?

At first glance, that picture looks like a “First Communion” photo… those little girls look to be about six years old…. please tell me that those are their fathers “giving them away” to be married to someone their own age (like an arranged marriage) and not their husbands?

That second little girl has such a haunted look in her eyes…
