We, as a society, have determine that a adult having sex with an underage person is a crime. How you feel about it or what they do in other countries or did in other eras is a topic for another discussion but is meaningless here. Forcing that minor to have sex is a more serious crime.

We've also said that a 14 year old cannot make an informed decision for herself. So any decision has to come from a parent or legal guardian.

Now here's my problem wit this whole story: if it turns out that some of these girls had babies by adults (as the DNA will show) that is 100% evidence that a crime was committed. But, as zineeditor alludes, the argument will be made that it was with the parents consent AS PART OF THEIR RELIGIOUS FAITH and is therefore somehow acceptable. Who cares? What standing does any religion have to violate the civil law of our society? It irrelevant why you think it was OK to father that child with the 13yo. The fact is you did. Off to jail. Mom too - who said OK.

Another proof of mimo's position that religion is just plain bad.
