Child marriages are sickening. How do these grown men get away with it? They must brainwash the moms who allow their young daughters to be raped. I used the word rape because I don't see these children giving permission to be violated.
This is 1000× more important than any article I've ever read or written. I'm ashamed I lived in Nevada for almost a decade and had no idea that child marriage was even still a thing in this country. Nevada is #1 on the list for Christ's sake! And not just men doing this, but women too. I need a damn drink smh
I’m not sure but in Canada the age of consent and to be legally married is 16 and I believe that was recently raised from 14 by the Harper administration.
Unfortunately, everything in this article is legal in Canada please don’t tell the people down south this.
See Harvard Chan School of Pubilc Health study. This also includes teens; sometimes as "honor" killings, sometimes they were victims of rape. Non-medical abortions performed by men.
Homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant women in the U.S., and is often linked to intimate partner violence, with a recent study showing it occurs at a rate higher than most major medical causes. Many experts believe that the current definition of maternal mortality doesn't properly include violence, which leads to it being underrecognized as a leading cause of death during pregnancy and postpartum periods.
So if my 14 year old daughter accidentally gets pregnant and wants to marry the father of her child that’s not cool with you guys, but you’ll hand her testosterone if she says she wants to be a boy lmao
Okay, I’m confused: how does the cited study on abortion vs maternal mortality prove anything?
The only point of significance here seemed to be “if you’re pregnant, you might die.”
…
Uhhh
Yeah?
Hasn’t this always been an unfortunate reality? We’re talking about growing a human being inside of a woman. Regardless of how well-designed her body might be, or how resilient she personally is, this is an arduous process.
I fail to see how this study does anything other than feed into an ideological echo chamber that seems bound and determined to promote the virtues of abortion and anathematize those who oppose it as woman-hating assholes.
I’m not here to deny that there are those who will use such restrictions in that way.
I’m also not here to discredit your article. You brought my attention to a reality I was genuinely ignorant of. All the rest of the article was well-argued and well-researched (as far as I could tell).
I’m just frustrated that you seem—with that particular study—to be more interested in scoring points than with promoting truth.
I'm not citing this study on male controlled non-medical abortions by the Chan school of Public Health to promote medical abortions. The reason I cite the study is because I'm tired of reading and hearing about the poor outcomes for pregnant women in the US attributed to poor diets, lack of medical care, etc, without ever mentioning the role male-pattern violence plays in the poor health, and even death, of pregnant women. It should be obvious that long before a pregnant women is murdered she will suffer a host of other associated health problems like anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, eating disorders, preclampia, stroke, suicidality. This constantly overlooked factor by organizations like ProPublica needs to be acknowledged and dealt with.
If you "marry" a child you can legally have sex with him or her? Hiding behind cultural norms from somewhere else? It is being allowed as the controllers that be want to normalize pedophilia.

This is staggering!
Slipping into total debauchery are we?
Hillbilly Elegy
Despicable
RUN BY PEDOPHILE REPUBLICANS.
It’s the intense incel / pedophile part of the MAGA regime.
Not sure if it can be an epidemic in the United States if they have the lowest rate in the world :/
The Morman Poligamy groups marry their 12 yr Olds with old men. There is too much of this going on.

Wait, hol’ up… this isn’t your article…
Why are you saying you cited the study?
I’m very confused.
This is not to say I disagree with what you say; women should not be blamed for their suffering, and I find that abhorrent.
I live in an area where I have yet to hear a woman blamed for her suffering like this.
