What do you think about child marriages? like one story I've read about a man 41 years old who wants to marry an 11 years old child. In some cases those were granted, if you were a parents of the child would you allow your child to get married with an older man?

Oh no I'm not gonna let my child married for that really older than her, maybe she's being hypnotized or some witchcraft only. besides, 11 yrs old still a kid so that's not legal,unless her family is not with her anymore.

In a lot of cases it's not that the parents ALLOW them to get married that young, it's that they FORCE them. In a lot of middle eastern countries a young child could be sold to a man in marriage, with no choice of her own. I do not agree with this practice at all. It is not a matter of allowing it to happen, it's a matter of them forcing it to happen.

Marriage means love of two heart, whereas child marriage is no more a marriage. It shouldnot be encouraged. Marriage gives the maturity towards life, but marrying a child who doesnot have any idea of life is somthing out of imagination. I would say government should take action against these acts other than the laws which it has now.
