This is disturbing because it may be something we're headed for in the future. If the definition of "marriage" keeps changing, who's to say it has to be between two consenting adults?

Boy, they've got that 'explodes' part right.

By 2005, law enforcement authorities in the U.K. received more than 5,000 complaints of which 300 were investigated. Interestingly enough, some of those calling for help–not likely to be forthcoming–were males. It seem Muslim males are no more happy to marry an unknown cousin from a rural Pakistani village; they find the proposition no more palatable than marrying their sister

Britain is in deep doo doo.

Some girls, as young as three, are forced into Muslim marriages in some countries, such as Afghanistan.

:::sigh::: Why do we even tolerate this kind of stuff on our planet?

The leftists always brag about how much they help women. This article shows the reality. Leftists are all hypocritical, immoral liars.

3rd generation just now learning English? Took a while, did it not? Follow the $$$. My Finnish grandfolks did not allow the grandkids to speak Finnish. Do not worry—this is their problem, not ours.

From the text.

In 1999 the British Labour Party, in one of those boneheaded acts that the left excels at, made a seemingly minor adjustment act to it's immigration policy that doomed many thousands of young girls to death,beatings and a nightmare life.

Ah yes, the so-called Labour Party. I remember as a young socialistic person, full of power to the workers et al, in that country. A quiet conservative standing next to me and not wishing jibe, said this:

The name, Labour, means two million votes alone to your party.

Today, one reads of Tony Blair and his wife, she, a barrister, getting over a half million dollars a year. Most of 'em never saw work, as a worker. Good for them.

It was in 1893 that reformer George Bernard Shaw wrote his play, "Mrs Warren's Profession". In New York in 1905 the police arrested everyone at the theatre and charged the manager. Morals you know!.

The play? Simply put, an expose of hypocritical Victorian society. The tragic fact of young women working 12 hours a day in a lead factory. 9 shillings ($1.90 cents) a week. Disease was rampant. The play goes on to explain what a strong young woman's mother, did for a living. This in order to save her daughter from the misery of exploitation. She runs a high class brothel. The girl is horrified and starts work as a typist. She cannot reconcile what has taken place,which is young women being forced into prostitution.

The Labour Party is worse than the bloated system, that fed off the poor working class in Victorian times. At least the Victorian working class girl, could try to latch onto a man of her choice and exit. There was at least the right to walk away.
