@lazimammoth some kids hit puberty when they are 7-9, so you are saying it's okay to be married at 7 years old? i'm not hating, but i think it's creepy. kids should live and learn before they make such a commitment.

@lazimammoth That is sick. Thank god i live in a place where my 13 year old little girl can't be sold into marriage like a whore when she hasn't even experienced the best part of childhood yet.

this is pretty cool but ther eis even more shocking thing some girls get pregnate at like 10 12 13 14 one of my friends are 14 and she jusst had her baby

@MultiZueri I think this was staged to make the impact more shocking, I don't think it was real. When you see people in other countries being forced into terrible situations, too many people think, "Not my problem." Seeing it in a clearly American context makes it more shocking, and hopefully gets people thinking who would otherwise go "meh," and change the channel.

Did anybody understand, what's going on here?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thats a paedophile community for child abuse, remeber marc dutroux!!!

and i'm really shocked that such a marriage is possible in the publicity.

does anybody know more about this church where the marriage was arranged?

this must reported to all non gouverment organisations and the police!

@ShortChelsea

ex.act.ly.

that is why teens should wait until their bodies are fully developed and married. no one should be married at such a young age, such as 8 or younger, but sadly it happens. i just hope that later on, we all would reach to a better future.

[ShortChelsea]

@alipazagaful Even sixteen year olds shouldn't be having kids-their bodies still aren't fully developed.

@LAmoZzz Oh, I know you did. :) I didn't mean to sound like I was mocking you at all, I was agreeing with you about the video, too. I just wanted ppl to know about the cult as well.

@Jaseeka1986

I know that it happens, but I ment only about this one)

[Jaseeka1986]

@LAmoZzz LMAO, CLEARLY it's fake.. "Oh my God, She's just a GIRL" just the way they said it tells you it's fake. If that was out in the open here in New York in America, we'd kick that guys ass, but if it happens in COLORADO apparently it's OK. THOUGH THIS VIDEO IS FAKE It actually DOES HAPPEN IN AMERICA we have a POLYGAMIST cult called "The church of the Latter-day Saints" and Mormons who marry little girls off right when they start their period (as early as 9 or 10) to OLD NASTY MEN!

[LAmoZzz]

People its fake..

@CandieBarr6669

when i said 16 year olds can't do that i'm saying that sometimes that they can't balance having a child, married, having a job, and having to go to school. they can if they are educated enough and have a job that can support the family. the teen moms that have a boyfriend that can help out are lucky, some teen fathers just leave on them. i'm not in the mood to argue now... so lets just give this up, it's been months since i saw this video.
