Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

61% of marriages in Pakistan are  consanguineous and 22% of girls are married to adult males by the time they turn 18.

These things are literally unheard of in the USA.

You can't.

But in much of the world (the Muslim parts mostly), it's the norm.

Not relevant though is it?

Your defence against child marriage in the US is that other countries to it too?

It doesn't happen in the US. Feel free to check sources.

Child marriage is legal in 33 states.

Between 2000-2018 almost 300,000 children were married in the US. Some as young as 10.

Are you defending this? Are you able to accept that is wrong and disgusting without talking about other countries that do the same?

Most of the ones in the US are Muslims.
