“We should take the age of marriage for boys to 20 and for girls to about 16 and 17”
In America, they call that a sex crime now. And you get the scarlet letter of sex offender to follow you around for the rest of your life.
Keep in mind that as soon as the Shah lost power, the religious nuts who moved in quickly changed Iranian law to conform with Shariah, permitting marriage at the age of 9 years old, based on the example of the 52 year old Mohammed who married his last wife (number 29). She has just turned 9 years old. He had marked her out to marry when she was 6.
Like most women who are foreably married so young, she was so damaged that she never had any children.
Moving the age of marriage to 16 would be a 7 year improvement in Iran.
Not if you are in the illegal mexican alien wastelands of several big cities. Here in Dallas if they are getting married at 16 it is to give the kid(s) already on the ground a father.
Parkland Hospital is FULL of illegals having their kids on the backs of Dallas County property owners through their taxes. No “engrish,” no “yobs,” no monies for de babies, plenty of dough for the Cadillac escalade with 22" wheels, $500.00 smart phones and $60.00 a pop fake fingernails, pretty much plenty for that crap.
Yep, the illegals around here see 16 as just about "over the hill."
The older ones? Mostly just cheap, flashy, thuggish scum.
