You've probably seen it.  It's a "hot topic".  Should a 22 year old be charged with assault on his 13 year old wife, since her parents gave permission for the union?  http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-prhttaoce's   This is one of those instances that it's between the family.  Only the persons involved have to live with the fallout, whatever it is!  Although, many of our ancestors married the same way.  Whose to say modern times are better??


Any opinions on this??

The link isn't working. Looks like they've taken down the page already. What was the gist of the story?

First off, was he the one who got her pregnant? If he did, he should be in trouble for that in and of itself.
If someone else got her pregnant and she knows who it was, he should have to take part in this whole thing somehow as well. If that's the case, I can sort of see how Koso might want to help her out by marrying her.

Thanks Cee!

Well, I have a problem with a 22yo being with a 13yo. They SHOULD be at totally different stages in their lives. She's in junior high for crying out loud! BUT... assault? Nope. Sorry. If it's consensual, regardless of age, it's not assault. And the fact that they're now married makes it even less so.
