El Cid Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I recall a couple in Bradford celebrating 88 year of marriage. And at the time, I thought why are we/the media, going along with under age brides. I believe that they were muslims. I believe that channel four are doing a program along those lines, but instead about Gypsies. Are Muslims still beyond the reach of the law, or should we accept other countries laws? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-16441633 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2738979/Romany-Gypsy-father-offers-3-500-14-year-old-wife-son-Documentary-sees-diaspora-continue-illegally-marry-children-UK.html Would the UK reccognise a underage marriage for people comming into this country today?

charmer Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Doesn't Spain permit marriage at just 14 or 15 years of age? The age of consent is just 13, which I believe to be abhorrent. However, just because it is done in Spain it does not mean we should accept the practice in the minority of the Muslim and Gypsy community.

A marriage is either legal, or it is not a marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
