TBF when they first married she was 13 and he was 40.

I'm really glad that the majority of the world has moved past that point. Although, it seems like only a recent development in India in 2007.

Legal age for marriage has been 18 since 1978. Unlike many states in USA.

...

5 states have no official minimum age, but still require either parental consent, court approval or both: California, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Washington.

2 states have a minimum age of 15: Hawaii and Kansas.

23 states have a minimum age of 16.

10 states have a minimum age of 17.

That's fair I like that comment. Although a bit silly to compare women's rights between those two nations.

Yeah, India isn't curtailing women's right to healthcare under the guise of concern for 'unborn babies'

Literally last year it was in the Indian Supreme Court. At least the USA isn't branding women for rejecting a man.

Indian justice system isn't branding women, you racist fuckwad. Unlike murican system which is letting women die.

You're literally trying to compete with a developing country.

Which is fair because India is progressing while USA is regressing.

Touch grass dipshit. Or go shoot up a school or a mall or something.

No, the justice system isn't, but the people are. India is probably second only to Sharia Law nations for the disfigurement of women. Get fucked.
