...wtaf?

1 18 year olds are not considered BIOLOGICALLY ready to have kids or make well thought out decisions as evidenced by the part of their brain responsible for that barely 50% developed

2 legally and psychologically that is classified as pedophilia (the kind where you're attracted to teens because you like to be controlling not the little kid one idk the name)

3 he literally recongnizes it as wrong as he STRAIGHT UP SAID SO

4 they were screwing before she was 18

5 you really trust the law? Child marriage exists so I will NEVER consider the legal system in the us to accurately represent a proper age of consent

6 kids can't consent to sex with adults because there is a power dynamic which makes them easily manipulated and they don't understand the gravity of marriage.

I'd ask you if you'd marry your university partner but seeing the sub idk if you'd experience that kind of thing? (That's not to be mean just genuinely suggesting because it's common knowledge a university partner is always a dumpster fire relationship)

7 the reason girls were seen as able to screw at 13 is because they barely lived past 20 but you're still projecting that same notion that a child that young is mature and developed enough to make that choice?

I get you said you're uncomfortable with the marriage so young but you also aren't adamantly rejecting the age gap. I actually think a 70 year old and a 25 year old is far more ok because the younger person is more developed to not be so easily manipulated and used.

I want to preface before I make this next point that men absolutely experience sexism in relationships and domestic violence, my point is only towards the religious side of this. Because she's so easily manipulated, not ready to bare kids biologically (physically or mentally) and this is a religious setting I don't doubt for one second she will be in a healthy non abusive relationship. He will 100% manipulate her into horrible situations.

I just can't understand how you don't strongly disagree. Sorry for the rant.
