How often are children married off to old men in the US?
- hdgvhicv 1mo agoMore than zero. How often is it acceptable for a 12 year old girl to be married off to an adult?
- bentley 1mo ago> More than zero. I’m not convinced it is more than zero. Do you know of a single case in the 21st century of a 12‐year‐old marrying an adult in the United States? After all, you rhetorically mentioned America in the same breath as Afghanistan, where 15% of women were married below the age of 15.
