Comments by "oneoflokis" (@oneoflokis) on "Child Marriage in Western Countries: More Common than you'd Think" video.

  1. Sigh. I really don't know what to comment to this stupid video, which tells me a "fact" that I never really wished to know in the first place... it's true I didn't know that the law on this subject had changed in 2022, because I was about to point out that it has been legal in this country for many years, for 16 and 17 year olds to marry with the permission of their parent(s) or guardian. That age group is a minor age group - but are they children? I think not! (And neither does the justice system, if the "children" happen to commit offences.) Personally, I am against law changes for stupid "politically correct" reasons. I suspect this entire law change in the UK, was got up by middle-class white do-gooders under the excuse (though they'd never frame it exactly this way!) that it was something that was "bad for brown people". That stigmatised young marriages, including love marriages, as something that "only ignorant people of other races" do! Newsflash: WHITE people (a small proportion of them) have been doing this for many years in the UK without issue. In fact, a good few years ago I watched a documentary about such a love match between two young people decades ago, who had to go to court to confirm it or something like that, because their parents wouldn't. They did OK. What a fuss about nothing! 🙄

  3. But what is "a child"? In any society, post puberty? Children seem to want to grow up faster and faster in the West (WHY all the sexualised adverts and pop music then? 😏 Does one have to be Muslim to point this out?) So why not let them? Mind you, some people still think they're kids when they're at college.. 😏
