The Christian Democrats and their Bavarian allies in the Christian Social Union are looking into measures against the problem that they have identified as “child marriage,” defined as unions in which at least one partner is younger than 18 years old.

“The priority of child welfare and the equal treatment of men and women are pillars of our society and our understanding of our values,” legislators from the right-wing bloc wrote in a strategy paper quoted in Thursday’s edition of the Passauer Neue Presse. That paper estimates more than 1,000 such unions have been registered in Germany — largely connected with the influx of foreign migrants to the country over the last year. …

The Moose-Limbs will want it lowered to at least 6 years old to avoid defamation to the prophet of islam and his youngest kidnapped child bride, Aisha.

Islam again. It's not compatible with western culture.

Basically....nothing will happen. Berlin leadership is unable to function.

To make any effort succeed, you need the ability to nullify a marriage with an underage female that shows up. No one wants to take that step. At some point, a German guy will show up in Afghanistan and marry some 14-year old girl in an arranged deal....come back to Germany with her, and the courts find that that they can’t resolve this without screwing over the migrants/immigrants.

I will predict that underage marriages continue and become the ‘norm’ within ten years in Germany. Even German guys will do this.

” and our understanding of our values”

What an odd phrasing!

Oh that can’t be.....all cultures are the same

I guess I’m just uncultured! ;-)

No point in making new laws when you don’t enforce the ones already on the books. - More CDU-CSU Kabuki.

With any luck, the people of Germany will rise up against this insane policy.

A friend of my wife’s, who was born and brought up in Germany, was telling us how she feels bad for the Syrian refugees that have been displaced in Germany. This was before she went home to visit her family. Now, her comment is “Get those bastards out of my country!”

Given the Demon-rats stated policy to import as many “refugees” as possible as soon as possible, do we need another reason to vote for Mr. Trump? Hold your nose if you must, but he’s our only hope this year. A President Shrillary could be a disaster for all but the very rich, who can live in their enclaves, and the very poor, who are seconded into servitude for those very rich.
