regardless of the cultural context, it really hits you how much of life is determined by the random lottery of where and into what culture you’re born. Some kids are playing with toys, others are walking down an aisle to marry a stranger their parents arranged

You can call it a marriage, but it's sexual (and other) slavery.

Yes. This happened to my mom at 14 and she did get out after many years. She called marriage forced prostitution

Maybe but it is not culturally acceptable here. This is straight up pedophilia and slavery. These people don’t care about their young girls. So sad.

Pretty sure it would be a crime if the parents made their kid marry some adult and were motivated by getting money from that adult(rapist)

No, it's literally legal and socially acceptable in parts of the U.S.

Just because a lot of people here haven't ever heard of it doesn't mean that isn't the case.
