1 month agoWho’s ‘they’? And what does arranged marriage have to do with child rape?
Could you reread your own comment and tell me who ‘they’ are, according to your grammar, and what their beliefs are? Namely, are ‘they’ the arranged brides who do in fact support arranged marriage?
You still fail to show how Buddhists in particular support child rape or even child marriage. From what I know of Buddhism, which is admittedly not that much, that religion says nothing of child marriage.
I’m gonna take a wild guess that you equate Buddhism to India, which is the region most widely known in the West for arranged marriages (outside of Muslim countries, at least). Well guess what, firstly, 0.7% of Indians are Buddhists. Secondly, the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 prohibits brides under eighteen years of age from marrying, unless they’s fifteen and has parental consent — which is pretty much the same as is typical in the West. This act applies explicitly to all religions except Muslims, Christians, Parsis, and Jews.
