Child marriage with no minimum age is currently allowed in 5 US states, including California. We should probably be raising more of a fuss about that if we think a guy doing this 1400 years ago is a problem.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States

Between 2000 and 2018, some 300,000 minors were legally married in the United States.[16] The vast majority of child marriages (reliable sources vary between 78% and 95%) were between a minor girl and an adult man.[16][17][18] In many cases, minors in the U.S. may be married when they are under the age of sexual consent, which varies from 16 to 18 depending on the state.[19] In some states, minors cannot legally divorce or leave their spouse, and domestic violence shelters typically do not accept minors.[20][21]

A guy doing it 1400 years ago wouldn’t be a problem now… if the pedo’s religion didn’t idolize himself and if people didn’t use it to justify their own child abuse.

Also, if you think america’s CA is bad, take a look at unicef’s data: 51.4% and 28.3% of young women in bangladesh and afganisan respectively are married off while underage.

I can’t speak about afganistan, but as a bangladeshi, I can confirm that it’s fucking disgusting listening to people I know discussing child marriage as if it’s completely normal, citing that muhammad did so too.

It’s crazy that these barbaric religions have still managed to survive to this day, and some people continue to defend them
