how do YOU know that they don't love each other? just because there's an age difference doesn't mean the marriage is based on 'lust money power'. my comment is about the 28 years old woman and the 49 years old man- it's not like she's 10 years old, this girl is 28 and MATURE ENOUGH to make sensible decisions. i don't understand why everyone is looking at this situation as if a 10 year old has been married off forcibly.
above EVERYTHING else, it's their life so why are you guys so interested? i don't understand who makes you the judge to determine who's marrying who for what. jeez.
Shay, the gal in question here (in the first post) is only 15, not 28. A girl of 15 is still a child - it isnt just a difference in age here. A 42 year old man marrying a 15 year old girl - hmmmm think back to when you were 15. How much did you have in common with a 42 year old? Not only is 15 too young for ANY marriage (IMHO), I just think theres something wrong with a middle-aged man who marries a child. Some 15 year olds havent even finished puberty yet. Personally, I dont have an issue with big age gaps but something I DO see as wrong is marrying off a daughter at such a young age. If she loves the guy at age 15, she may or may not still love him at 17 or 18. Theres a HUGE difference in maturity between age 15 and age 18. You're right, its not my business who marries who and why....but the question was posted and comments requested....
