Child Marriages in India (7 pics)

Posted in PICTURES       20 May 2010       23209       15 GALLERY VIEW

Many girls in India get married when they are still kids. Children marriages are banned in this country, but they still happen. Government survey in 2006 reported that 45 % of Indian girls were married being younger than 18 years old. Local police raids child marriage ceremonies when it gets a chance because young girls who are forced to marry boys or old men are often at risk of violence and sexual abuse. Inside this post you can find photos of child brides taken by Reuters’ photographers.

Let us ignore the legal or moral implications...

Let us just ask WHY would GROWN MEN want to marry little girls, if we are to ignore pedophilia, anyone?

@2

I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with wealth. For example the two fathers are heads of two minor companies and by marrying their young together they in turn strengthen their business, binding it together. For they will take over the company in the coming future. Like what kings did in the past with their princes and princesses but only on a smaller scale.

Please correct me if I'm wrong for there is a strong possibility that I am. For some reason I'm under the impression that this is the reason why...

" ... because young girls who are forced to marry boys or old men are often at risk of violence and sexual abuse" So the minute the turn 18 the "angels" known as girls cannot be forced to marry "demons" known as boys and older men and will not be at that risk.

OK righteous GOD, dodge this: a report by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality states that 443,000 U.S. residents die from cigarette smoking and second-hand smoke exposure each year. The report states that smoking costs the United States $96 billion in medical costs annually. Why isn't tobacco smoking banned till now?

@8, "just kids for fuck sake they shud play wiv fuckin dolls not givin birth" Should or MUST? and who told you that they will give birth right away?

@2, legal or moral implications stem from some source and I believe yours is defective man-made laws. Now you have the right to follow what others (people just like you) permit or decree on the base of views, benefits, whim, ... (all subject to time) but I think others have the right to be free and follow what they believe in too.
Nevertheless, didn't your righteous laws legalized and permitted slavery and later discrimination of black people at some point in the past? Guess what, maybe 50 years from now people in power (your Gods) will rethink it and find it moral to discriminate black people and enslave them once again.

Still skeptical? what about the Louisiana justice of the peace who refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple MIGHT have. And even though his highness based his refusal on an incident that MIGHT happen, who are we to question him! he is the source of right and wrong, he is the LAW, he is one of the GODS!

As an answer for your question, why do elder women want to marry much younger men? Gosh I don't know, I think the main "problem" is that people are not some servile machines with feelings that go on or off according to different laws or views. Maybe they should (or MUST?) try (or FORCED into) your state of slavery by consent because secularism = newly disguised feudalism.

That is one reason why India poverty is too high. Imagine when a child marries at year 5, count 7 years more and she will have her first menstrual cycle. Of course she is already married and her womb once she got her cycle, is ready for having a baby.

Just think of those children married at younger age and becomes mother at their younger age. That is also one reason why India has so many children beggars around the street. This kind of custom should be change and the government should focused on this as major issues in everyday life.
