Tomorrow morning I'm publishing my article on the epidemic of child marriage in the United States.

Without googling—how many documented child marriages do you think have happened in the USA since 2000?

@QasimRashid Further evidence that it is a myth that America is a mature democracy. ’Land of the free’ my arse!

@QasimRashid but you see they're Christian child marriages so it's okay.

(Sarcasm ffs)

@QasimRashid I would imagine many are not documented. What qualifies as a "child marriage"? Since I can't read the article I'm not sure what you are exactly referencing.

@lightninhopkins article goes live at 8am CST. But no these are U.S. citizens.

@QasimRashid I didn't mean undocumented immigrants, I meant that many are off the books.

@QasimRashid Meaning things like religious marriages that are not reported to the government.

QasimRashid,
@QasimRashid@mastodon.social avatar

@lightninhopkins yes absolutely true and that means the documented numbers I cite are a low estimate

lightninhopkins,
@lightninhopkins@mastodon.social avatar

@QasimRashid Agreed. Thanks for putting time into this.

@QasimRashid probably their parents want the children off their hands
