You seem to know a lot about history. Most people are surprised when I tell them that just 150 years ago, age of consent in USA was 7 to 10, and just 80 years ago it was around 10 to 14 in many different states in USA.
- Even then you could still marry below the age of consent with the father's permission or engage with an underage non-virgin.
However, raising the age of consent and changing consent laws didnt seem to benefit USA in any way. It didnt reduce crime or suicides, but it did reduce birth rates and it did increase prison population significantly. Laws are by nature supposed to encourage marriages, not discourage them.
- On the contrary. The Law is specifically designed to stifle the Marriage Institution to its death. For instance, as absurd as it sounds, you are not legally required to provide for your wife when you're married, yet legally required to when you're not. Make it make sense! – Morocco is a great case study, being the only Arab country to introduce marital law reforms (in 2004) aimed at amending Sharia based rules into more western-friendly "egalitarian" rules to "empower" women. Divorce cases henceforth went up 20 TIMES in a mere 13 years (likely much higher today). From 7k cases in 2004 to 146k cases in 2017. That's a 2000% increase in 13 years! Some of these amendments included allowing women to initiate divorce, introducing no-fault divorce, & adapting income based alimony (when priorly only men could initiate divorce, otherwise the judge may grant it only the if the wife proves a legitimate complain). – In Sharia, alimony is calculated based on basic needs within means, regardless of how considerable the income is.
- In context, divorce in Sharia functions differently. It is permissible, but barely. Although only men can unilaterally initiate divorce, there are mandatory barriers put in place to prevent such outcomes in case of intent, such as: domestic reconciliation (communication, silent treatment then discipline), arbitration, settlement, temporary separation, delayed dower (the husband must pay the wife in divorce), compensation (in case of no fault from the wife)...etc. Women, however, can only do so by settlement or through the court. Divorce can be:
• Faskh: annulment before consummation.
• Talaq: divorce initiated by the husband with a 3-step max limit. As in, the husband may divorce his wife 3 times & no more. The 1st time (Rij'i) triggers a 3-month separation, after which the couple shall be formally divorced (prohibited from being together) & may only resume their relationship again if they formally remarry, unless they make up within those 3 months. The 2nd time (Ba'in) triggers a formal divorce immediately & the couple may only resume their relationship if they formally remarry again. The 3rd time triggers a final divorce where the husband may only remarry the ex-wife after she engages in another marriage to its final conclusion. Then the count resets.
• Khul': divorce initiated by the wife by way of settlement or breach of contract, as such relinquishing some or rest of her dower, or in case the husband violated a stipulated condition in the marriage contract.
• Tatliq: divorce enforced by the judge in case of legitimate grievance against the husband (impotent, does not provide, withholds sexually, harmful...).
• Tafriqa: annulment enforced by the judge in case of invalid marriage, such as incest or any form of unrecognized marriage.
• Li'an: permanent irreversible divorce in case of adultery.
The main two arguments today against child marriages are consent and harm, but both are self contradicting, because consent argument on its own cannot work without harm argument, and harm argument doesnt work either because raising age of consent laws increased harm, especially by reducing birth rates and increasing prison population and violence in prisons.
- Don't let them pull you into their nonsense. A person who reached puberty is not & has never been considered a child until the past few decades. Children 7 year of age hanged for crimes in 19th century Europe. "Child" -adolescent- sexual intercourse still occurs & is legally & culturally promoted & encouraged. It's the marriage part that's frowned upon & vilified. – The crux of this whole hoax is chastity. Anything that isn't chastity is glorified & female empowerment, & anything that is is demeaned, controlling & primitive. This is because valuing chastity necessarily leads to valuing marriage & family.
- As to consent, it is one of the greatest tools designed to serve the agenda of the state. A minor's consent pretext is used to stomp parental guidance in things which interfere with the state's agenda, & completely discarded in things inline with the state's agenda. A parent may not interfere with their child's "sex life" for "consent" reasons, yet the child has no consent to not spend his childhood in a concentration camp for state indoctrination (aka school). The way to understand this consent among minor nonsense is to realize the "child" is owned by the state, not by his parents or himself.
I am yet to see someone make a case for how this nonsense which we have today is actually somehow beneficial for the country. If US birth rates keep dropping as they were so far, USA might face same situation as Japan and South Korea. Both Japan and South Korea are predicted to lose 60% to 80% of their population in next 100 years if they dont increase birth rates. Its actually amazing how people want to introduce fake morality by pretending they care for children, yet end up destroying millions of future generations through birth rates alone.
- You are assuming legislation is enacted by the state to benefit the country & the people when it is primarily for the benefit of the empire, the ruling dynasty. The empire wants to have its subjects as individual pods. Early marriage means girls don't go to school & don't receive proper education, aka state sponsored indoctrination. It means young girls not joining the workforce & raising yet another generation of children away from state sponsored indoctrination. It means less labour to feed capitalist productivity & less consumerism to feed their profits. It means stable marriages & family cohesion. This fosters community formation away from state designed labelism & individualism, which isn't allowed. It means higher birth rates & more native people, in this case Whites, which means less need for immigration & subsequent multiculturalism. This isn't allowed either, because it leads to homogeneous societies, which are an existential threat to the empire & the Jews.
If 500 years ago someone said that age of consent should be 18, everyone would laugh and consider him insane because back then it was impossible for society to defend itself if it didnt have high birth rates achieved only through early marriages.
- In the early 20th century when the age of consent was raised to 16, it was met with ridicule by the press. Funny stuff! Like, "they should raise it to 81 years". It would be like if today they raise it to 25 or 30.
But today, most people seem to be clueless about how reproduction works. What is even more crazy is that today, countries which have and encourage child marriages not only have very high birth rates, but their suicide rates are much lower than in countries with higher age of consent. There are plenty of studies done to show how marriage reduces suicide rates, thus countries which banned child marriages have merely removed the protection those marriages offered and thats all they achieved.
- It does boil down to fertility rates & family stability. This creates a sustainable human society. Everything else (i.e. all the progressive "rights") leads to self-destructive extinction. Following current trends, in a 100 years, there would literally be as many White people as Japanese today, & all Japanese will fit in Tokyo. – For all their cries & screams & scorns against these "backward" "pedophilic" ways, there would simply not be there in the future to say anything about it.
