    Are you implying that all the marriages of underage boys were gay marriages?

    Absolutely not lol

    You jumped in to say that not all offenders are men and then linked an article that says nothing about offenders of child marriage at all.

      Okay, follow me here. If the marriages to underage boys aren’t gay marriages, then what would the gender be of the adults marrying the young boys?

        Lol you realize most of those young boys are being married to young girls in those countries in the article, right? They’re still victims, but I think you’ve missed the big picture on that particular article.

        Yes, there are some cases where adult women marry young boys and it’s disgusting and just as wrong as when men marry young girls.

        I found exactly two cases in a brief search:

        2005 Georgia Case: A 37-year-old woman married a 15-year-old boy in Gainesville, Georgia. While this triggered child molestation charges, the marriage was considered legal due to a state loophole allowing marriage for 15-year-olds if the female is pregnant.

        2004 Kentucky Case: A 27-year-old woman married a 16-year-old boy shortly after her arrest for having sex with him, as reported by WAVE 3 News.

        You tell me who the overwhelming offenders are of child marriage. Just take a wild fucking guess.

        The OP of this post was not discriminating against men and boys. She was posting about April being sexual offence awareness month.

          You sound exactly like people who cite black crime rates and then swear they aren’t being racist.

            Women make up the vast majority of those married before entering adulthood 47.6 million compared to 5.8 million men.

            Girls are disproportionately affected, with 1 in 5 young women aged 20 to 24 years old married before their 18th birthday, compared to 1 in 30 young men.

            An estimated 650 million girls and women alive today were married in childhood.

            https://www.unicefusa.org/what-unicef-does/child-protection/end-child-marriage

            Absolutely no one is saying that boys aren’t victims.

            You are delusional to push that child marriage affects boys at the same rate as girls.
