How did Tyson Fury’s daughter get married at 16?

I thought they changed the law and you had to be 18 in the UK?

If child marridge and forced traditional roles are so great then why are traveller women 6 times more likely to die by suicide than the general population? For men it’s 7 times more likely. Why are travellers women 30 times more likely to access domestic abuse services than the general population?

Ah when people resort to emojis, its because they have nothing else to say.

Back to the topic...

Not sure if you are joking or not...............

I think the main supporter of this on this thread is actually a member of the travelling community, TBF, rather than some middle-class handwringer, but I do agree with you.

Not many at all though. They’re still the least represented group in universities, only around 3% of travellers go.

I would like it!

One time I had a canadian boyfriend. I went to stay in canada for the summer. I couldnt work on my visa. Its the only time i have been with a man , where he went out to work and i stayed at home. It was great! Very relaxing.

I

Exactly this. The health and DV stats are dreadful for traveller women. I believe the DA rate is 75%

These are 2 very separate things. Lots of people become SAHMs, they don’t need to leave education early to do so.

That’s not true. Not in my experience, far from it.
its illegal in Ireland without social services approval to home educate and they wouldn’t approve that.
Roma travellers that are a century behind have authorities at their door if the children are missing school. If they took them out, they would be removed and rightly so.

They are not two very seperate things. If you leave education early you are more likely to become a SAHM.

Every minimum wage job in my city asks for GCSEs

I fucking hate housework. It bores me to tears. I’d be absolutely miserable in life if it was my ‘role’. Are you saying all girls born into the travelling community enjoy housework?

Well I’m stating what I’ve observed. This kind of performative behaviour is largely performed by middle class virtue signallers in my experience. Who are so open minded their brains fall out.

I have been in university tutorials where middle class students (with very plummy accents) have tried justifying female genital mutilation. I’m sick of it.

Whilst they’re trying to come across as progressive and evolved, women’s lives are being destroyed.

There are restrictions - eg someone resident in England can’t travel to the Isle of Man to get married. But yes if that’s were you are from…:

I think the poster you are replying to, lives in the UK.

Oh my days.

Each to their own I guess.

Do we enjoy work from jobs either? No one really ENJOYS a lot of work.

Some people love their jobs. Many people hate or just put up with their jobs

She's probably just about to leave if she hasn't already. It still doesn't mean she's a child.

Memo : it's not your line to draw.

Many 16year olds are happy with their first loves

I certainly was.

Thank god we didn't marry

Exactly. It should be everyone's choice.

As I always say: we wouldnt make an animal work for fifty years. Why do we make humans do it

What a depressing thread
@Lunarlightning no it's not black and white you can have a child and be at home with them whilst they are young.

Education isn't a means to an end it's everything and without education we won't have the context of anything at all.
Like being a horse led through life with blinkers on.

A 16 year old girl has just married.

That's the point

15 years ago, 3% were in secondary school.
They are opting to have 3rd level training, I know a beautician and two hairdressers from the community. It’s slowly getting better.

School girls are literally children and deserve society's protection.
They're entitled to an education.
They're entitled to protection against child labour.
They shouldn't be getting married.

The 'good old days' without those rights weren't so good for women.

Yes and it's not normal in our culture either.
