Momins? I realize that I have just walked into the lion's den, but I have some things I'd like to say. I am from the United States of America, and many teenage mothers I have known throughout my life have insisted that having a baby and getting married young was what saved their life rather than going on the same course they had been travelling. I'm always suspicious of the science that conveniently comes out of the woodwork every time there is a debate somewhere in my nation on whether to ban adolescent marriages. And the statutory-rape laws in my nation? Don't get me started on that. A German court recently condemned an American court in Florida for forcing a man to be on the sex-offender registry and behind bars longer than he was supposed to be. This American man is now a refugee in Germany. His name is Steven Robert Whitsett.

What might look good on paper is not necessarily so in real life. The criminal justice system in my nation wants it to have its cake and eat it too. And extremists like Fraidy Reiss and Jeanne Smoot are using fear-monger tactics to push their agenda to wage war on all men. It's a mess here, and people want out of my nation because of it. Wherever you may be in this world, take my advice. Look before you leap.
