This group does not produce any evidence that anything they state is factual. There's no statistics no studies, and their "methodology" is not documented and deeply flawed. If there are 10 year old girls married in the US you would think Fox news/NYT would have published it.

Why her headline says she was handed over to a complete stranger is inexplicable unless she goes on to say she found out he wasn't who she thought he was and is speaking metaphorically. That said, yes there should be a lowest age limit w no exceptions - like drinking and voting. Agreed.

And this is related to Trump. Men like him use power to oppress those they deem weaker. Right now he is hiding his and other's pedophelia and child trafficking, he's trying to remove the requirement for priests to expose abuse, and taking money from the defunded human trafficking division for ICE.

No argument from me there.

She was 16, she dated him two months, he proposed and she said yes "thinking he was her savior." Her mother gave permission. He was 28 y.o., which is older than her, but young - and not grotesque. to be continued

Here's a quick research link. I cancelled my subscription to the NYT so I can't get every article. archive.nytimes.com/kristof.blog...

part 3 of 3, and & Kristof's opinion column - it wasn't a news report and that's a very important distinctin - was written in 2017. And his source and that group he relied on doesnt impress me as reliable - & the link is now 404'd. So, all things considered, I'm far more concerned all things Trump.

part 2 - and of the mother, who did nothing about it. The girl was in neutral (which is why 11 year olds shouldn't get married). The first judge refused to do it, they had to travel to another county. I don't see this as an epidemic problem in the US to be continued

Not to worry! I do subscribe, so I can. I believe there are occasional freak cases of 11 year olds being married like the one Kristof describes in his opinion column. But if you read it, her mother and her church, both pushed her into it to avoid a criminal trial of the rapist, (to be continued)

I read this article. I meant I couldn't search to find anything newer. This article has a link to research not just opinion. Child marriage in the US is not as unusual as you think. www.unchainedatlast.org/child-marria...

Unchained is not a grade A source, and their "research" is very flawed. I would want to see something from the UN or the Pediatric Associations, or the APA - not Unchained.
