Do You Support Child Marriage? I Do! by Gentlebabs(m): 2:05am On Aug 28, 2010
In Asian countries the early marriage and therefore early "sending off" to the in-laws house is read as a benefit because it is easier for the child-bride to adapt to her husband's house and therefore have better chances for a happy marriage. It also felt that when a girl is married off early she would be protected from evils such as rape, casual sex, and the like. In Asiatic countries and Africa where chastity is valued above all else, this seems like a great motivating factor for early marriage.

The parents of girls who marry early would normally give less dowry than when they marry at an older age. In areas where poverty is rampant, this is a matter of survival.

Let’s take a case study of our parents, most of them married early, they brought us up with all the qualitative virtues that a good child should possess (Except of course you refuse to listen). This is one of the reason why moral decadence is on the high, due to over-civilization.
Do you have the same opinion as i do? Let’s rub minds. Comments!!!

Child marriage is a sin and should be totally abolished. Children should be allow to grow to an adult before giving them out in marriage, because is not an easy thing as you may think, even God forbid it, because  everything has  is own time, let the child grow up to be able to decide who to marry, dont force your child into marriage because in the long run the consequence will the disastrous.
