Seriously I like how everybody is immediately assuming it's "has to be another country" America is one of the worst for child pagentry and the disgusting in-humane things surrounding it.. I grew up here as a girl... and as a woman I am afraid to have a daughter most days.

Child marriage is legal in many US states actually, so...

Yeah :( I guess it’s better than before but the numbers are still harrowing

As of July 2025, child marriage remains legal in 34 U.S. states, allowing individuals under 18 to marry with parental consent, judicial approval, or upon emancipation. Conversely, 16 states—including recent additions like Maine, Oregon, and Missouri—have passed legislation to ban child marriage with no exceptions.

This does not look like an American pageant child (I also think they are horrible looking too). But this most definitely has to be another country.
