16 Year Old Bride?!

Posts: 111
I'm watching a new talk show called "Father Albert" and on it today is that 51 year old guy who married a 16 year old girl. REALLY??? How did he not get locked up for this? How could her parents approve of such a thing? To me it is disgusting that somebody his age has interest in a child. PEDOPHILE! She obviously craves some sort of attention that she is not getting. SOULMATES MY *kitten*!!!!
Random, I know but I just felt like sharing :happy:
Sorry if I've offended anybody in any way...

its even worse when Afghanistan and arabic countries girls get married at 12 to old men.0

Yeah, That's pretty darn gross0

Eeeeeew!!!! I'm with ya! WTH is this girls parents thinking and why isn't this guy being charged by the state?? If it was some "young and dumb" 22 year old the state would press charges no matter how much consent the parent gives! That is insane!0

It's that actor from "Lost" and the 16 yo girl who looks like she's 35, right?
I saw this interview -they met on line. The parents approved. He didn't know she was that young (I mean, look at her). They supposedly waited until they were married to have sex (she was a virgin - like waiting until you are 16 is some big feat). I think he is deluded that she loves him; I think she is using him to get connections for her singing career. Her parents are just nuts.0 -
The guy is famous. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why her parents would agree to it.0

yuk :sick: :noway:0

That 16 year old chic is a fame wh**re! LOL She doesn't love him she just wants to get famous! She said on the E channel that she wants her own reality show.....0

Check out this Anderson Cooper clip. Her demeanor is just not right.

well its out in the public eye for people to make comments and pass judgement....its not something you see everyday.... and its something that makes us feel a bit uncomfortable with....but who knows what the reason is that they got married.
Hes rich and can give her all the things she wants and shes probably more blinded by that than anything else. shes probably hoping hell have a heart attack and die and shell get all his money and the life she really wants....
or it could just simply be that they are in love and the age gap is only weird cos shes 16. if she was 26 and he was 61 then people would look at it a differnt way. she certainly doesnt look 16 thats for sure!0 -

ohhhh them! yeah she doesnt look 16! her own fault0 -
Ew. I agree that this is completely unacceptable.
But would I be okay if it was an 18 year old bride? I guess so, since she would be at least legally an adult. Still would be kind of icky though.0 -
That is disturbing!0

that horrible,
people shouldnt be allowed to do that.0 -
Yea I saw those two on TV and she is definately trying to be a huge sex symbol and I think she thinks his connections will help. GROSS!0
-
Ohhh I read about this. For a start, I'm amazed if she is actually 16 >_>
Secondly, she looks like she's on something.0 -
SO TRUE SHE DOESNT LOOK 16 OH WELL TO EACH THIER OWN !0
-
He is an actor.. and she looks 30. Hah.0
-
Gotta wonder, when (or IF) the marriage works out...and its years down the road; perhaps around twice her age now (she'll be 32 yrs old).
Will she look back at her bridal photos and wonder if she could fit in that dress she wore when she was only 16?0 -

It happened right here in Seattle (area). And as far as I can tell, the girl really loved him, the guy loved her, and the parents agreed.
It wasn't some sort of arraigned marriage or anything like that, and these were totally normal people not crack addicts or religious nuts. It's a little creepy, at least in my opinion, but totally legal.
For the record, the girl is reported as being extremely intelligent and mature for her age. Whatever, hope it works out.0 -
sick...........comes to mind!!0

Go to Romania, Bulgaria.... gypsies get married at 12-13-160
-
it is gross...by by the state of law 16 years is legal for any sexual intercourse that is why he cant get into trouble...0
-
Do you know their names?! I want to look them up and see what everyone is talking about!0

This happens a lot in my culture. I grew up with a girl who got married at 17 to a 39 year old guy. She's preggers with her third kid right now. She would say things like "oh my whole life is set out for me, I can have everything I want, bladidbladibla." My parents wanted me to get married too, but I refused. She's not happy staying at home doing nothing and taking care of her kids, I'm almost done with my first BA and living and loving life, but guess who's more worthwhile In my grandma's and mom's eyes? (her)0

its terrible because the men just beat and abuse them. i think that should be more disturbing than the 16 year old. but because them people arent famous no one gives a crap0 -
I couldn't imagine getting married at that age, I didn't know what I wanted at 16 and double that age now and it's not that much better....0
-
I honestly don't believe she's 16. She looks about 45.0

Look at the the gentleman that own Playboy Masion.... It not any different then having him marry some Playboy Bunny who is in her twenties and he is in his eighties....
Yes, it is gross but it actually happens everywhere in the world, Some may be culture-related, or it really is love and age doesn't matter, or people are completely blind of what really is happening outside thier own world....

LOL. Well, if the world doesn't end and MFP is still around (which I hope it is) she can use it and get whipped back in shape.0 -
Who in their right mind lets their 16 year dress like that let alone marry an old man. She looks 20 years older than she is - which opens another questions: who in their right mind wants to look 20 YEARS OLDER?0
