Woman forced to marry at 15 says ‘everything changed, I wasn’t me anymore’ I Nightline

1. Governor Cuomo MUST sign S3086 into law and make NY the 6th state to outlaw child marriage.

2. That is sick!

3. Those women deserve to be happy without Charles marriage some parents and old men should be a shame in their so for not having their choices this is their choice not yours and you can't take that freedom away from women.

4. Rhode Island senate passed a bill that bans marriage before 18 yesterday. It’s expected o pass the house and be signed into law. One less state that enables child abuse.

5. This is unacceptable!!

6. What happened with the Deacon set the notion in place to marry her off at a young age to…basicly cover the Rape that happened..There is a Scripture in the Bible that say if a man Entices & Seduces a maiden that is not betrothed.. He must Marry her..Endow her to be His wife.. If The Brides Father refuses to give her to him as His Wife..The Guy must pay Money according to the Dowry of Virgins..This scripture may have been used to convince her parents that this was ok in some way biblical. (Exodus 22.16) but In this Ten year old Girl's case she wasn't seduced..There was no Enticement of any kind…She was Raped..She was not old enough to give Consent… To be Enticed/Seduced one must give mutual consent to go all the way with Someone ….Which is why Some Parents won't and dont let their kids date at really young ages.. This is old Testament Scripture..The Maiden can be any age..The Man can be a Younger man who Seduces & Entices a older Woman who he knows is not betrothed..Its important that legal age of Marriage requirement laws be established for both Men and Women..Ten is way too young..This is sometimes why one sees older Women with younger Husbands or State Legal Age brides with older men..There was some Enticement/Seduction going on..

7. And America believes they have a right to lecture any country or nation about this issue. Some African countries have legal laws against child marriage. America does not. For Shame!!

8. I can't seem to get my head around what the intended outcome is suppose to be. I was sure this was all a function of extremist religiosity, parental pressure and infrequent social norms, but I suspect there is more to the story such as unrealistic expectations concerning the very nature of marriage.

9. Romeo and Juliet was a comedy. Poking fun at the drama of being Catholic at the time of the reformation. Being 13 and in love was, and still is, a ridiculous concept.

10. So no minimum age to wed in several states but the drinking age is still 21. Yeah makes perfect sense. 🙄

11. Wow! It's crazy they changed the law in 2020!!!!!! Why wasen't this done A HUNDRED YEARS AGO?!?!?

12. my girl cousin got married last week and shes fifteen to a 23 year old girl

13. I know that feeling

14. Forced marriages in parts of Tennessee is a huge favorite. It was tried on me in 2 different churches. I fought it.

15. I always believed that USA IS free COUNTRY for youngsters!!
    But tf why they're forcing to marry someone at such young age !!!

16. Shouldn't a new law say, "the young son or daughter will choose to marry whoever they see fit" instead of not just "no child marraige allowed?"

17. END CHILD MARRIAGE!!

18. this is so sad 😔

19. 2 15 yr olds got married on that show?

20. Is it really kidnapping if the child consents to it?

21. +923475512187

22. "While america critizing other countries they do the very same thing behind closed doors".

23. Mine chased me with a machete. Even as a teen-I KNEW TO PRETEND TO FORGIVE HIM, and LEAVE in SECRET!!!! He found and stalked me til I moved 1,800 miles away. Even 40years later he tracked me down. It still rattles me.

24. How now in America??

25. Jesus

26. How can I fight against this in Texas?

27. Florida is gross

28. They need to be doing their homework not diaper changing.

29. This is a very disgusting thing to discover

30. would the door swing both ways… how many 20-30yr old women were marrying. 10 yr old boys!!… why must women and girls bear the WEIGHT and consequences of social predation? When it's YOUR OWN FAMILY organizing this foolishness! Where can a girl turn when it's her "parents" that's THROWING her UNDER THE BUS and STR8 into poverty?

31. Where is the shaming of the man involved? Where’s the husband….where’s the deacon? Both of them were RAPISTS, These women come forward and become vulnerable to revealing their identities, but the perpetrators of statutory rape go unpunished! Ridiculous!

32. These grown men need to be castrated and the parents need to be thrown completely AWAY. Prayers to the little girls that have to raise REAL babies instead of PLAYING with them.

33. GIRLS: IF YOUR OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEX AND BECOMING OF A TEEN MOTHER, YOU ARE READY FOR MARRAIGE. DONTPLAY HOUSE UNTIL YOU'RE READY!! I DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THESE GIRLS.OF COURSE THE BLACK WOMEN, I DO. SHE WAS RAPED. THE DEACON SHOULD BE IN PRISON.

34. Child marriage is just sick…

35. she was married at ten????!!!!! at ten i was watching zoey101, sabrina the teenage witch and lizzy mgwire to me boys still had cooties!!!!! crazy
