M. (hristine Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6891200.ece He married her the day after her 15th birthday. According to documents seized at the ranch, he refused to take his under-age wife to hospital when she went into labour in August 2005 because he feared officials would discover her age and turn him in. The age of consent in Texas is 17. The authorities need to round up all of these human blights and keep them penned where they can't breed any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalzunfield Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 As one of my favorite radio and TV personalities Adam Carolla always used to say on Loveline (drenched with sarcasm): "We can't judge. Every culture is beautiful, wonderful...we can't judge. If it's okay to take an underage wife and bear children with her in your culture, that's great. We can't judge."

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 But he said he hopes to have more children with his new wife, who is young enough to be his great-great-granddaughter I still wonder if this is not a hoax...kind of like the 42 cambodian midgets fighting the lion.

sonicshoulder Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Do you think she gets along with his sisters? Sometimes that can be awkward, particularly if one of the parties is more than a hundred years older than the other. Even as a Kentuckian I feel a line may have been crossed here.
