Gay marriage is wrong, but an adult marrying a 10 year old child is ok? WTF America?

https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2018/03/07/tennessee-republicans-child-marriage-bill-gay-marriage-argument/404559002/

House Republicans effectively killed a bill Wednesday that would prohibit child marriages in Tennessee, citing an obscure legal theory that passing the bill could deter a conservative lawyer's case against gay marriage.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Darren Jernigan, D-Old Hickory, calls for the state to outlaw marriages where one of the parties is under 18 years of age.

Jernigan, and Senate sponsor Sen. Jeff Yarbro, D-Nashville, pointed out a loophole in February that gives a judge discretion to grant marriage certificates to underage individuals with no minimum age limit.

The national nonprofit Unchained at Last has cited marriages in the state involving minors as young as 10 years old, but the state has disputed that figure.

Jernigan and supporters of the bill contend the majority of child marriages involve a female minor and an adult male. Furthermore, supporters of the bill say these marriages face greater than average odds that the minor will be abused.

One of Roy's defenders actually tried to justify it by saying Joseph and Mary got together when Mary was 13 and Joseph was in his 20s lol

Back in the day they'd marry young because the life expectancy was much lower. It's just the way God intended.

That's basically how most of these child marriages work out when they aren't between two children.

Regardless, Jimmy has zero business having any interactions with Shelly and should be socially ostracized for being an unapologetic pedophile.

Fowler argued that passing Jernigan's bill could interfere with a lawsuit he is mounting to counter the U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, legalizing gay marriage.

Fowler's legal theory is that the Supreme Court's ruling essentially nullified all Tennessee marriage licences, as it required legal marriage to be opened up beyond just a man and a women.

Therefore, according to Fowler, if the state were to move forward with this logic in a legal argument against the ruling, modifying state marriage law could acknowledge its existence.

Jernigan questioned Fowler as to why this should affect his legislation, and Fowler responded, "Some people think the state should regulate marriage, and I do not."

We discussed this topic a month ago, and it was just as stupid and misleading then. The TLDR version is that right now Tennessee's law on marriage is like 49 other states. That part is conveniently left out of the story. You're basically laughing at Tennessee for not being the single most progressive state in the country. Way to go on that.

but then that wouldn't fit the liberal agenda.

but you are right, tennessee isn't marrying 10 year olds left and right like some people in this topic claim. its liberal agenda fear mongering, and best of all, failure to pass this law makes them anti gay too. so it's a win win for their agenda....as long as you ignore the facts.

Really? I have no problem saying child marriage is fucked up. But the left will only call it out if it is white Christians. muslims get a free pass because of cultural differences or some other bullshit.

Not with me they don't. Fuck that. I read a story about a guy in Oman who bought someone's 8 year old daughter as a child bride and literally raped her to death. Made my blood boil.
