I saw a slideshow about which states in the U.S. allow child marriage and the comments were like “Yes but that’s with parental permission.” as though that somehow makes it better. The institution of child marriage throughout history has generally been precipitated by parents selling their children for higher social standing, financial gain or simply because they no longer want to be responsible for them. It was not a phenomenon caused by loved children being stolen off the street in broad daylight.

As someone from a rural area in the south, almost everyone has at least one female family member who was a child bride. Usually the story is that girl’s parents said “You’re 14, that 30 year old who is perversely interested in you has a good job and will be a good provider. We approve of you marrying him because we can’t be arsed to care about you and a woman’s worth is only as a mother and wife.”

This is still happening to this day in fundamentalist religious communities through the U.S. where a girl’s worth is often based on how chaste and ‘innocent’ she seems, older women seen as more worldly and impure by virtue of being more wise. So many fundies get married at 17, 18, 19 or 20 and their parents would probably marry them off at a younger age if they could. And sometimes they still do.

The Onion aren’t even satire at this point. They’re just telling the truth.

Gyns... A fourteen (14) year old Romani girl was murdered by her husband a few weeks ago in Brasil. The whole story is sick. Her husband (a 14yo Romani boy). As expected, media coverage has been a mixture of racist ignorance at the detriment of Romani girls and women. A man working for the police explained that this happened because "Gypsy culture is different, they have other traditions from ours." It's not the norm among Roma to murder your 14yo wife. Stop trying to explain it away by talking about "culture" to avoid talking about misogyny.

Her name was Hyara Flor and she was 14 year old and here is a picture of her and some articles I found about it, all in Portuguese. (The quote above is translated and taken from the second article.)

Femicides against Romani women are almost never reported in the press and it's hard to keep track of it because there are Romani communities in every country but this is the second time this year I'm hearing of a femicide against a Romani woman. Almost a year ago, a Romani mother was ran over by her two sons in Sweden.

the fact that republicans are okay with 12 year olds being married off to an adult with their parent’s consent but it’s a moral outrage to give 12 year olds the option to delay their own puberty with parental consent is olympic-level mental gymnastics

Republicans: "The LGBT community are perverts. They want to legalize child marriage."

LGBT Community: "No. We're not doing that."

Republicans: "How dare you! Fine! We'll do it ourselves!"

as long as women are still dying in period huts, young girls are having their genitals mutilated and the first period of a female child is used to justify child marriage, women's art centring our bodies will never be 'cringe'. i wont apologise if you place your sexism above the abuse of the minds and bodies of women and girls around the world.
