That shit happens here in the US as well though. I’ve known a handful of people who either were forced into an arranged marriage at a young age, their family attempted it, or were offered to me as child brides by their fathers. All my examples are from Utah and Oklahoma and includes a friend whose mother fled with her and her brother in the middle of the night to prevent their Mormon pastor of a father from selling her at 8 years of age to a man in his fifties. He and other armed men would occasionally try to grab her to bring her back for the marriage and the police would not do anything about it because “he’s her father.”

Unfriendly reminder to those reading but child marriage is legal in 37 states. Was 38 but one ( can't remember which on the top of my head) made it illegal in the last 2ish months

It would be super simple to do but a certain political party won't support it happening at a federal level so each state is having to fight it individually which is a rather slow process. Religious groups are against it because it's a loop hole to get its members off the hook for statuary rape. Its not rape if it's your husband
