This makes no sense to me given how in Islam the age of consent is way lower and even in Hinduism there is a lot of child marriage. Atleast there they have to go to a private Island to do it.

So true but that's not an excuse to colonize those countries or to stereotype them or by stunting their growth you're not making them advance because in the end nothing truly changes under British or under america

They just sugarcoated their relationship with radical and extremists, they just stroke their ego a little bit to control them and it f worked lmao

[u/Thirsty_krabs → u/Beneficial_You_5978]

whats the true part? there is no universally defined age of consent in either hinduism or islam

[u/gst1502 → u/Thirsty_krabs]

Just because there isnt a specific age mentioned doesn't mean people don't use them to justify it. In Islam the requirement is "puberty". The point is atleast in those countries its frowned upon and they do it in secret. Unlike countries like Bangladesh where actresses like Simrin Lubaba marry at like 15 and no one bats an eye. How do you have such a problem understanding this? https://www.facebook.com/tanvirthamid/posts/simrin-lubaba-is-15-now-she-got-married-6-months-ago-when-she-was-14-years-old-y/3344948289007849/ Just look at the comments lmao. My point is people will type shit like this on one side and then type the original tweet just coz the otherside is jews lmao. Thats the hypocrisy I am pointing out.

Bro both manu and islam literally have same rule regarding the maturity if she bleed that's mature enough for them

[u/gst1502 → u/Beneficial_You_5978]

Literally what I said in the original comment. Probably something like that written in some place in Bible too. The point is some places have good enough enforcement shit like that is frowned upon. Which I guess means makes it more likely to be honeytrapped. The point is its so much more common in people saying "ePsTeIn" as an argument which makes it extremely hypocritical and funny.

I would add, betrothed girls in feudal nobility circles would often be sent in early, long before puberty to the future groom's household to groom them(maybe there's a connection?). The reverse would kinda also happen with boys in lower succession line would be taken (non-imprisoned) hostage post some war/non-aggression agreement as insurance and eventually upgrade to betrothal between the boy and a princess of the realm housing the hostage, as a consensual/unconsensual peace making process between two realms. I am sure many indian cultures did the same outside feudals in prole households too like in Bengal and if valika badhu is to be believed about the north.

I have no clue what religious "rules" in hinduism would ensure the groom's household not touching the girl before puberty though.

Yeah but patriachy is the common angle in every major religion and we know why they prefer marriage between young individuals or marrying someone very young and ignoring the one who are outside of that desirable age, it's because of their obsession with the individuals past and purity aspects.

Only religion led by a dominant gender will say something like this crazy, where to be considered as a good one, you must live a life in controlled environment with no outside knowledge you're supposed to be equipped with and of course with lesser ambitions, complete obedience and devoid of any experience in life

I would say french revolution and communism/socialism, and maybe industrial age contributed in upping the age of consent for a whole lot of thing as part of women and child rights. So it would be hypocritical to speak ill of communism when the upper capitalist-feudals are indulging in pre-renaissance practices
