Marriage for a 13-Year-Old
A 27 year old man was arrested after he had sex with a 13-year-old girl and she was found to be pregnant.
The guy was caught because the girl’s family tried to get her a marriage license to marry the man. Here is the link: Link
Do you think the family should be charged for trying to help their 13-year-old daughter get married to a 27 year old?

this is horrid….
@Starshine_Faerie - I am twitching right now…
WTF are they thinking?
holy shit. yes. they should be charged for not turning him in when they found out.
oh god, that’s fucking hot.
Any family that thinks marriage is the best option here deserves to be beaten soundly with a reason stick.
Or a normal one.
This may be the most difficult question you’ve ever asked.
Edit: Never mind, I say yes. They should be punished in some way.
Ummm…yeah!
ugh wow. yes.
Was this in Mexico? =/
YES!! The family should totally be persecuted as well. That’s very messed up.
That is terrible! No 13 year old is ready to make a life long commitment of marriage!
What is wrong with people these days?!
Why do weird stories like that always seem to take place in Florida?
Marrying isn’t an answer for pregnancy.
Fucking retards. /facepalm.
Yes, I think her parents should be prosecuted.
That’s…. child negligence. Right?
YES they should fucking be charged! Jesus Christ, what a mess.
errr…hopefully the parents are arrested
why would they want her to marry him…? he’s probably abusive, clearly.
no, time is usually the same if something was done by a person.

At least these people are responsible.
My daughter is a whore. What to do?
@Thatslifekid - *nods* That’s what I was thinking.. If not for the marriage attempt, letting their 13 year old run around with a 27 year old definitely should be.
Mandy Smith
MANDY F**IN SMITH people.
or Priscilla Presley
or Jerry Lee Lewis
…That’s kind of…*shudders*
Wouldn’t an abortion be simpler? Or even giving the child away?
He needs to be charged with rape and not lewd or whatever they want to call it. Rape is rape for crap sake and the parents need to go to jail. This is a child for craps sake.
Actually, yes. My first inclination was to lament how much time and resources are being wasted on this, but really, it’s unacceptable. Young girls need to be protected, because they’re usually stupid as hell.
Yes they should be charged. She’s well below the age of consent for both the sex & the marriage. Are they that backwards to think him marrying her will change anything? They probably arent good parents to begin with if they didnt notice any behavior differences before.
i think they should be charged with not reporting/facilitating statutory rape.
YES. omg, thats so fucking disgusting. What is wrong with people these days?
I don’t understand how sex with a minor is illegal even if it’s consensual, but anyone can get married at any age with parental permission. No 13 year old is ready to be a wife and a mommy, regardless of the culture they’re raised in. If that makes me judgmental, oh well.
Well he will, I assume, be charged with statutory rape. By that logic, her family should be charged with assisted rape.
He looks like a nice gentleman.
It is a sick world that we live in…
that’s disgusting and wrong in so many ways.
wow. that’s just a big clustery mess of bad choices right there. I don’t understand the family’s thought process at all.
Yes. Or kicked in the fucking head, at the very least.
wowww
@Keeko1 - From the article link, it happen in Florida
fo’ sho’
Yes.
*facepalm* i shivered reading that
what kind od dumb-ass parents would encourage that with marriage? did they think getting the two married would solve the problem? people are creepy
Disgusting…of course they should be charged!
YES YES OMG YES.
first of all, underage is SICKENING for any adult to desire after.. unless we are in closer age group, such as 17 and 21 liking each other… okay. But 13 and 27? UGH! that is wrong. the child isn’t even aware of the world, let alone should she be having sex at that age. sadly, yes I noticed that a lot of kids that age are enaged such activites..
but why would a 27 have anything to do with a kid? that is just. EW
The family should be charged that’s just creepy
Perhaps it’s a great scandal in their culture for a child to be born a bastard.
yes
Did anyone ask the 13 year old girl what SHE thought?
Yes, because marriage solves everything.
Morons, all of them.
@Texana - you stole the words right out of my mouth
Yes. However, if the family comes from a different culture than mainstream American, they may have been more concerned with the girl’s compliance with religious law rather than thinking about what is law of the land.
I am sure it is a very sad situation on many levels.
That’s disgusting. He’s more than twice her age! I wonder, though, did her parents try to get the marriage license after they found out she was pregnant or did they “approve” of the relationship and wanted them to be together? It didn’t really state why. Either way, everyone’s at fault. A thirteen year old girl should not be thinking about having sex with a 27 year old man, the 27 year old man SHOULD NOT BE having sex with a minor/child, and the parents’ should have disapproved of the relationship and should have had him arrested. This world really disgusts me.
In my opinion, the family should be charged. They knew this guy was having sex with their 13 year old daughter, knocked her up, and essentially tried to “cover it up” by making her marry him. Pathetic!
Epic fail
I sure do love 13 year-olds.
This is just all sorts of messed up…
Hmmm…
Man of Latino desent have this problem, They should be sent back where they came from in a box.
Yes!
nah.. they do it in Mexico all of the time. And from the looks of this guy, he seems to be of that origin.
Ick.
@catman517 - Agreed.
Oh and EWWWW who would want that guy sticking ANYTHING from just anywhere in them?.. I just threw up a little bit in my mouth..
No.
Yes. They were obviously wrong. Even if she liked him…she’s freaking thirteen.
