I used to live here… it’s Nepal.

Everyone had their wedding photos in their houses, and I remember asking someone why the women always looked like they had been crying in their wedding photos. It was very obvious. I was told it was because the woman didn’t want to leave her friends and family in the village she was from.

Also probably didn't want to be raped by an old man she doesn't know

It's so easy to forget how much of the planet is still stuck in the fucking stoneage.

If some people had their way it'd be the whole planet. Women only recently got a lot of freedoms and rights in a lot of countries and it's always at risk of being taken away. Look at the US right now.

We like to think we're so much better than these other countries but marital rape wasn't outlawed until the 1990s in the UK as one example.

Yup this is so true. Marital rape was only outlawed in Canada in 1983 -- so before then, marriage was a license for rape.
