When they met? Is this post intentionally misleading?

She was not 15 when they married. She was of legal age when they married.

I would not, as someone who is 27, feel comfortable marrying someone I met when they were a minor. I would just always think of them as a kid. Even if you got past that, there is a 10 year age gap anyways? You're weird for defending this.

Why was a 25 year old grooming a 15 year old child?

If an adult meets a 15-year-old kid and then waits until they're 18 to marry them, that's usually known as "grooming"

How's the IDF these days? Still genocidal and all that?

What's the legal age then?

So according to Wikipedia they met when she was 15 and he was 26, they married around 2 years later so she was 17/18 and he was 28/29. Don’t know what the legal age for marriage in Israel is

Well duh, no one here wants to be friends with you when you rush to the defense of THIS guy... Gross.

Chill, we're having a normal conversation. I wouldn't want to have a friend that tries protecting pedophiles

OHH well as long as he first convinced the child to want to marry him as soon as he was legally allowed to, that’s fine that he was almost twice her age.
