I think at age 15 teenagers can marry with parental consent in TX. The State of TX needs to pull its head out of its rear-end and start following the Constitution. An entire community was condemned on the basis of a false report. At the time law enforcement personnel could not find the “victim” and/or the perp at the ranch, they should have backed off.
The one thing that is the most outrageous to me is that they held, and are still holding, adult women against their will. That is frightening to me, not to mention rounding up all the innocent little children, dumping them in a coliseum, then in creepy foster homes. It makes my skin crawl.
Is this my America?
Yes.
After our 'betters' read 1984, thinking it was a manual...
The law can’t be enforced. Efforts need to be places so that the “Brides” really have a choice and can say no. The cults have to be opened up some. Making Polygamy legal would be a positive thing as everything would be in the open, maybe under aged brides would be able to get rights as a “wife” and the ability to divorce or seek guidance. If you can’t stop it, control it and tax it.
