13. And handsome 'men'?
I am out. No offence intended.
It is a civilization shock that I don't wish to get over with.
She's 25+.
I was answering baajey, that if she wanted to marry at 13 I wouldn't have stopped her.

Like I said. Sickening for me.if she wanted to marry at 13 I wouldn;t have stopped her.
Ok then.Yes.
Though, it's very unlikely that she would have (now she's older). She's pretty and has rejected rich men in the past. ; )
She likes handsome men though. I doubt a 42 year old will meet her standards.
Like I said. Sickening for me.
I understand it is a clash of civilizations here. There can be no argument here, unfortunately.
Dogma is not compatible with flexibility. You will not understand. Please try to not quote me.No one said Hinduism is compatible with liberal values.

No one said Hinduism is compatible with liberal values.
Then we will make sure it becomes compatible . That is what we have been doing for thousand of years .
Not really. Without centuries of invasion ending with European colonialism, you would still be stuck with ancient rituals like Sati and stuff.
Making an organized religion compatible with liberal values is nothing short of an impossibility without a major war or revolution.
I've given up trying to beat certain liberal values into traditionalists around me.
Biggest voice against Sati ritual was Raja Ram Mohan Roy . He was not an European . We have to move on along with the world or we will be left behind .
Voices are put down when traditional elites are in power. Foreign rule in India fostered an environment that nurtured these reformists.
A 42 year old man marrying a 13 year old girl without her consent is unacceptable. And in all likelihood, a 13 year old will never consent to marry a middle aged man/woman.
What we want is a system that let's two consenting individuals do whatever they want with their lives - it is not the state's job to interfere in private affairs. So you don't decide the age gap between the couple with your votes.
Partially agreed . What about Pakistan . It was also under same rule .
Muslims had their own reformists during colonial times, like Al-Afghani.
All that Muslims have to do is catch up with Western science & tech, and social reforms like more liberty for the common people (not like the West - that's going too far).
But the Salafist influence (with $$$) from the Arabian peninsula is holding us back.
Marriage is not = reproduction. Stop equating them.
Reproduction is a choice. You can choose to postpone it.
For Muslims, the only way to legally have sex is marriage. Either make it legal to have sex before marriage or let people marry earlier.
Why lose out on all those post-puberty years?
