Reddit is now allowing advocacy of Child Marrige because they don't want to be seen as islamophobes

Let's not pretend that this problem is somehow isolated to Islam.

Child marriage is legal in the US with a majority of states allowing it in some form and four states literally having no minimum age of marriage.

This is a religious people problem. The more of them you have the more of this problem you have. Religious people have all kinds of excuses for pedophilia and other things that rob people of consent and agency.

The boy looks like he is 12. Why is his face visible but the (what I assume is a) girl’s face is not?

Delete religion

But don't you dare attack a nation sympathiser...

Yeah. Don't let them turn into a US redneck state.

So a random mod speaks for Reddit? What kind of BS is this post

A random mod for the Karachi subreddit
- Yea I know, but the post says that the admins accept it, which is false

Painting the whole of reddit based on the actions of a single non-admin moderator on a religious subreddit of all things feels dishonest as hell, tbh.

Well, an admin not stepping in also speaks volumes. They were more than happy to step in when we complained about API changes.
- Yes, reddit admins are famously shit and famously have the most skewed priorities in history, but that still doesn't make this cherry-picked example a good representation of reddit as a whole.
- Reddit deleted my NSFW subreddit for no reason except it was competition for the girls they personally pimp out. They 100% take an active role and could deal wirh this if they wanted to.
- to be fair the vast majority of administration on reddit is now automated by bots. If you've ever been admin banned it tells you as much. So the real issue should be what filters/flags have been applied and why would the bot ignore something like this post/mod?
Yeah, I walked away from reddit a couple of years ago now. I've been over there occasionally searching for something in particular and niche community this is definitely not the vibe for most of it.

I know we all hate Reddit, but you don't have to sink as low as this. This is a single post, hardly reddit's stance.

well on the plus side we do the same thing with lemmy instances so at least we're consistent
- Yes😉

This one is about Reddits chaos No different to the unfettered Nazi bullshit. Extremely unlikely that Reddit can be accused of being too woke or Pro-Islam.

Religion. Leave it and open your eyes to the real world. Stop believing in fairy tales.

This is a single post, hardly "Reddit".

The Karachi subreddit lol

This comment mentions finding it. It was ~2 hours after yours, maybe they added it back or something. https://lemmy.world/comment/18690799
- Yeah, my bad then. I expected this to be a recent thing, not from months ago, didn't think of checking their profile that far back.

DEPORTED!

"U.S. states - As of July 2025, child marriage is legal in 34 states."

4 states have no minimum age (effectively 0).

2 states have a minimum age of 15.

20 states have a minimum age of 16.

Child Marriage Laws by State 2025

Child marriage is still legal in most of the U.S. Here’s why.
Loopholes in state and federal law allow minors to wed.

Let’s be honest here, the United States aren’t the standard they claim to be.
One ex of mine got married at 17, another at 18 (Appalachian milfs and I have a thing for each other). Neither decision was good, and people may think it's only a year, but the difference is drastic. At 18 you're legally an adult, but at 17 you aren't. At 17 you lack rights that your adult spouse has, like to file for divorce and to open bank accounts independently.
The minimum marriage age should be the age of majority and I don't care if your culture dislikes it. If you don't trust someone is old enough to sign a contract, why are you letting someone sign that contract? If they aren't old enough to purchase pornography, why are you letting them enter into a legal commitment with a sexual component? If they can't legally independently demand divorce why are you letting them marry at all?
We had to put a line between child and adult somewhere and 18 seems a pretty good place, but crossing that line grants an immense amount of freedom and independence.
- Too immature to be allowed to drink. Mature enough to raise children.
  Yeah, no. Marriage should be 21 and up.
- Appalachian milfs and I have a thing for each other
  Thanks, I blew air out of my nose harder than usual.
- If you're going to allow marriage below the age of majority, emancipation should be included. It makes a terrible idea just slightly better.
- You can soon vote in the UK at age 16
Aisha was six when she and Muhammad were married. I'm not sure it really compares
That Wikipedia article is very poorly written and seems to contradict itself in the same paragraph multiple times. But I'm not surprised that the main locations for child marriages are Appalachia and the Jello-Belt. Backwoods hicks and ultra rural Mormons are the two main demographics i correlate with child marriage.
United States states ?

It's called MAGA.
Maga can imagine
Dude, Mary was between 12 and 16 when she gave birth to Jesus. And don’t get me started on the story of Lot and his daughters in the Old Testament.
Between OP and the comments, what a stupid fucking post…
- "Mary was teenager", conservatives defending child rapist republicans, ~~probably~~ actually
  Roy Moore, Republican US Senate candidate, accused of sexual assault on 14yo girl - ABC News - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-10/roy-moore-republican-senate-candidate-sexual-assault-allegation/9136922
- Yeah, and? Almost like christianity sucks too, who would have thought
- Mary was also a virgin though

It's because u/spez is a human trafficker helper who had Ghilisaine Maxwell as a major contributor on Reddit before her arrest. It's because BRICS is a global movement by the wealthy to bring about slavery/"corporate monarchy". BRICS employs human traffickers and social media extensively to get blackmail on people and to find ideal victims. That includes Iran and Saudi Arabia (a somewhat secret player).

The Muslim people I've known (from Egypt, mainly) were not chill with sexism or marrying kids, at all. They are extremely generous and kind and educated. Don't let stupid asshole wealthy people create bot narrative lies to trick poor people into slavery.

Don't be duped by fairy tale stories of any variety that seek to shackle your mind.

So I can still state a corrigendum? Cool.

Corrigendum: That's supremely fucked up, and anyone that advocates for that deserves to be punched in the dick by a thousand prize-fighters.

This seems like a subreddit rule. Has Reddit ever ruled specifically for or against this?

I prefer to follow the “half your age + 7” method in finding out the youngest age of maturity your partner should be.

Maybe, but I'm 30 and honestly don't want to date anyone younger than 25.
- You're allowed to do whatever you want lol, it's not strictly saying you have to consider everyone half your age plus 7. If you only wanna date people older than you that's fine too, it's whatever.
207 for me. Makes sense, I'm told I'm an old soul.

please as a quranist don't generalize us with sunnis

Sorry but: No god no master!
- Don’t say sorry for that.
scripture is blasphemy
nothing written by man could even begin to conceptualize the word of the almighty
what you call the holy word is fiction written by men and conflated to be the word of god
if there's a hell: writing, reading, quoting, and promoting scripture seems like a great way to go there
trust the relationship with god you find within you and fuck all that manipulative scripture bullshit
- sunni muslim countries don't allow that (i live in it [ if i leave it it's punishable by death]) sunni muslims also support that
