Don't be smug, Americans, Only 2 states in the US have banned child marriage, and American underage girls are still being forced to marry pedophiles (pizzagate)

When you think of child marriage in the United States, you think of Dearborn, Michigan:

It's not just Islamic immigrant communities that are forcing underage girls into marriage with older men, though.

A little-known fact is that 18 states in America don't even have laws specifying a minimum age for marriage. Seven states allow child marriage if the child is pregnant.

And girls born and bred in America are being forced into marriages. There were 11,000 child marriages in Kentucky between 2000 and 2018, when it was banned. Are pedophiles, whether part of networks, or not, taking advantage of this lack of laws? Yes, definitely

There is definitely organized opposition to bans on child marriage at the state level. In New Jersey, for example, the legislature had passed a bill banning child marriage, but Governor Chris Christie vetoed it on religious grounds.

It's well-known that when Islamic religious associations in New Jersey realized the bill was going to pass in spite of their efforts to lobby against it, they put in a last-ditch effort to get Christie to veto it. And he did, polls in previous elections showed that the vote from Islamic communities have been key to getting him elected.

I think the assumption by the general public is that underage marriage only happens between two high schoolers who have had sex together and are trying to bring some stability to their relationship. That is clearly not always the case.

However, this topic has been brought up before and we are seeing some progress. Since 2016, 11 states have modified their laws to increase the minimum age of marriage. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States) While there is still work to be done, it should encourage pizzagaters that some government officials do listen to our concerns, even if it is only in the broadest of laws.

Two teenagers marrying isn’t always the case, but without seeing numbers I’m going to assume it’s the case in the clear majority of cases. Of course Muhammad and legitimate pedophiles are a greater problem than religious Christians.

The only thing I would caution about is the feminists and kikes trying to make white people stop breeding. I wouldn’t put it past them to try to increase age of marriage to 21 while continuing to tell women they really just need PhDs and cats.

they really just need PhDs and cats.

I'm laughing...but this is only funny on the surface. It's a terrible lie they are pushing.

I was showing my ex gf pictures of babies and she said she thought animals are cuter. Also says she has too much schoolwork to spend much time on a relationship and her future plans are basically endless degrees paid for by her rich family. She already has a masters, now getting her second one. So yeah I’m back to looking for actual wife material now and I told her she has a future of cats to look forward to. Sad but true. She’s already 30 and no plans in sight.

You are MUCH better off without that feminist in your life.
