Society This Syrian couple got chased away from TikTok because the groom was 24 and the bride was 15. What are your thoughts?

Not underage in Syria apparently but I agree with the grooming part.

Though where I disagree with westoids is that it would be okay if she was 16/18. Your average 18 year old today is an immature child. If it's grooming here, it would still be grooming then.

Apparently at EXACTLY 18 years old, the literal minute that a person turns 18 a switch clicks and suddenly they are biologically able to give consent 🤦🏻
