Should child marriage be legal? Then why is it?

Whenever there's a Republican convention in an American town, the 'ladies of the night' complain they don't have much business. Why? Because a lot of the 'business' goes to their male counterparts. Male escorts make crazy money at the RNC (click).

==================================

It's an established 'secret' that Lindsey Graham is secretly gay.  Male escorts write 'appointment with Lady G' in their book of clients when referring to the famous politician. Former vice president Mike Pence refers to his wife as 'Mother' and supposedly met her during gay conversion counseling, organised via their church. 

Sane people know you need to brainwash people in order to make them think they are not gay, heterosexual or like apple sauce. There are numerous examples of gay people who would rather die, than to be forced to live a life as a heterosexual. Like 24 years old Alana Chen (click). Who was found dead after she spoke out against gay conversion therapy, administrered via the same Catholic church where Mike Pence and his beloved 'Mother' met. 

'Yeah, but The Bible states homosexuality is wrong!' The Bible states a lot of things, as it is a collection of dozens of books, written in different times by different people. 

So, does the Bible say a marriage should always be between 'one man and one woman'? Yes. It also says that King David had eight wives and 'loved Jonathan (click) more than he loved any woman'. 

The God in the Bible loves everyone, including sinners. That's why Republican politicians love to sin, apparently. Because their precious God will forgive them anyway. So it's a good thing God didn't write our laws and it's illegal to have sex with underaged boys and girls and more than one evangelist was sent to prison (click) for child trafficking and/or sex with minors. I write 'minors' because - although less common - it's not uncommon (click) for boys to be wed before they are 18. 

But is sex with minors really illegal? Nope. Out of 198 countries, in 117 of them (sometimes under certain conditions) it's perfectly legal (click) for people to marry someone who is a minor. 

'Surely in the USA it's illegal to marry an underage girl, right?' Wrong. It's legal (click) in no less than 44 States. It's estimated that by the year 2030 a billion married women are younger than eighteen. Internationally speaking an age when a person has reached maturity. 

Should we allow men (mostly in rural areas in the USA) to marry their 15 years old niece so they won't have to go to prison for rape of a minor? If you think that practice should be outlawed, click here (click) to get educated and to see how you can help.

If you are or know someone who is convinced everyone should follow the Bible in the most literal sense, watch this presentation of a man who lived by every single law in the Bible for a whole year, a few years ago:
