I've read one of the hyperlinked articles, which mentions only a "mild learning disability," as well as the accusation that the girl was allegedly unable to grasp the actual meaning of the term "marriage," but it is useless to debate the pros and cons of this case until some clinical evidence (read: I.Q test results) are published.

Unless this girl is truly a moron (I.Q. of less than 90) or worse and/or there are other circumstances involved here (e.g., a history of very irresponsible / criminal behavior), it would indeed be a miscarriage of justice to deprive her of her offspring in this fashion.

Regards,

IQ less than 90? A big percent of people have an IQ under 90. I wonder what this girl’s IQ score is.

Nonsense. Anyone within 2 standard deviations of the mean is considered to be of normal intelligence.

Well, she obviously was able to "grasp" something! :)
