No, it’s Not okay. It’s not okay for a high schooler to marry a middle-aged man because there’s a significant imbalance of power, maturity, and life experience. Even if a teenager can express consent, their brain is still developing, particularly in areas related to judgment and decision-making. A middle-aged adult is in a position to manipulate or exploit a younger person who may not fully understand the consequences of such a relationship. Marriage under these circumstances often perpetuates power dynamics that harm the younger party emotionally, mentally, and socially, and it reflects a failure to protect vulnerable individuals.
you get it! i don't know how it's a hard concept for people to grasp. There's a huge power imbalance. Leaves so much room for exploitation/abuse.
ALSO, teenagers use contraceptives to have sex with other teenagers.... that's totally different than making a commitment like marriage.... especially marriage to an older man who waited until you turned 18..... *barf*
You're calling a 25 year old guy a middle aged man. Hiw old r u? 13?
That’s what I’m thinking. I thought middle age level is different in other countries.
But i was right
As someone who is 26 I can’t imagine looking at a 17 or 18 y/o and thinking yeah prime marriage material. It is gross bc the other you get the more conscious you are of your own age and if you have even an ounce of self reflection, cannot see being with someone of that age when comparing to your own mindset at that time. People who go after younger adults are cognizant of it and ACTIVELY seek it out because they want to take advantage of their naivety and lack of experience.
Also I just have to mention that two teens having sex consensually does not justify a significantly older man (8 years) also engaging with a teen sexually. This is literally the excuse ephebophiles (pedos who don’t want to acknowledge that being into 14-18 y/os is also gross) use to assert that statutory rape is okay. If you want to defend a sus manga this bad please don’t sacrifice your morals on the alter of standing with people who are actually this gross.
I don’t know why ya’ll complaining, that she was in 2nd year. When we are talking about highschool kids i saw many high school girl or boys buying contraceptives or plan B and condoms.
My point of saying that is the girl is already mature enough to express consent. And it was both of their decision to get married.
I wasn’t this freaky when i was in high school, but i had one girl in my class, She got an abortion when she was 15, not all the girls were surprised as me
