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?

Why are we mixing up a woman's choice to be a SAHM with 16 year old children getting married?

And the last century didn’t happen. She’s relying on a man for her own existence.

Absolutely you can as you can do in the UK. However, she is still not a woman....no matter how much tax is paid or work she does!

Not so much nowadays though..yes in the older travellers but I can assure you it's not so much now..they go to school until theyre 18 now,they're in school with my girls,doing A levels here in Ireland,they don't get treated as bad

Under his eye

And thats her choice if she wants to do that.

The ultimate freedom for women is to be able to choose whatever they want.

I remember a woman saying to me once "I know women have fought for our right to work, and Im a big believer in womens rights, but when I think about it - what I really want to do is stay at home with my baby, while my husband works"

Sadly a lot of them don’t make it to pension age.
There is horrendous suicidal epidemic throughout the community too, family call-outs due to social media and addiction too.

Yep 100% the men are thugs and cause no end of problems in my area, a child getting married at 16 is not normal tradition or not

It might be different in the UK and Ireland though

That's a choice for women to make, not children.

Exactly this. Red flags

I am sure she is far wealthier than him. She probably has millions in a jewellery box.

well, at least she got married. Imagine the 1000s British teenagers getting pregnant without a proper plan in place

But the fight was for choice, it wasn't a fight to look down on women who might prefer to remain in traditionally gendered roles.
There are many routes in life, different routes work for different people. Education is an utter battle for some children and not the making of them, a return to more vocational training at a younger age would be beneficial for some.
There's so much snobbery on MN for those who are not seen as living typical middle class lifestyles.

Her parents have helped make the choice for her. They have given her their consent to get married.

Why do you care what she does, if she is happy and it is a normal age to get married in their culture

What a stupid question 😆

Some English people don’t seem to know that so many things are different all over the UK

What has things being different all over the UK got to do with the Isle of Man?

Don't be silly. This entire event has been monetised, publicised and designed for public consumption.

The UK teenage pregnancy rate is about 13 per 1000 pregnant women. It's fallen by almost 70% in the last 25 years, and now is low, and still declining.

Yeah maybe in uk but in Ireland it has changed loads over the years now thankfully and Girls and boys get better education and definitely women get treated loads better,obviously there's still some old school

Most are pregnant because an adult caused them to be - 80% of teen pregnancies are caused by men.

When looking at this case, she too will likely become a child pregnant to a man soon and she will become part of that 80% too.

Its a very apt question. Why on earth do you care what she does, if her own parents approve of it.

As a poster wrote, the snobbery on here can be shocking. Anyone who deviates outsidr the norm is looked down on

Very much so. Maybe England need to do more to move forward with the community too.

Do you approve of 13 year olds getting married , if their parents approve and it’s their culture?

No because that girl would not be the legal age, obviously.

16 is the legal age to get married in the Isle of Man.

Are you saying that the law is wrong then?
