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

[Wouldcou]

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

The poster said ‘access to your own money’. She doesn’t - her parents have money.

Each year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18. That is 23 girls every minute. Nearly 1 every 2 seconds

Quote from Girls not Brides, charity for ending child marriage. Perhaps some of you would like to explain that child marriage is cultural to them. www.girlsnotbrides.org/en/articles/un-cefm-resolution/

I would love to see an AMA from you! I’m so interested in the traveller community

It’s complicated. Racism against traveller communities seems to be the last acceptable bastion of it. It’s unthinking. But denying education is objectively not great, as is very young marriage.
Fun fact - I taught a (female) cousin of Tyson Fury in a small independent boarding school, so not all his family are denied secondary education. She hated him though. Said he was violent and misogynistic.

so an 18 yo shouldn’t have sex with a 17yo?

In Scotland it's 16. I don't know anyone who got married at 16 but it does happen.

There is an AMA (I think it’s in AIBU though) - it didn’t go well

That is also her money. My father left me some money in a will.

Thst money is in my bank account along with money that i have earned myself.

It is all my money . It is in my account.

The same as if her dad gave her money, it will then be her money.

You think an adult should be having sex with a child? I disagree and think it should not happen. By all means justify why having sex with a child as an adult should be welcomed in society?

YABU to not know that you can get married at 16 in one of the counties within the UK.

I had no idea either - I thought that as a modern country presumably concerned about the welfare of its children, child marriage should have been made illegal everywhere

You can’t know that. Yes her father is vastly wealthy you it’s impossible to know what money if any she personally has access to.

It's only her money if he gives it to her. Some parents attach conditions to the passing of personal wealth to their children. Some cut their children out of their wills.

It's not a given that the child of moneyed parents have been unconditionally given a share. It's not automatically her money because he is her father.

No nerves struck, my life is very different to what I assume you're imagining it is. I just find the rattle through the standard Tate-ian talking points in relation to women expressing scepticism over teenage marriage ('uni - pointless - sex with random men - pointless - job - pointless - resents husband - gets cheated on - single mother') incredibly male-seeming!

I imagine Venezuela probably wants to get away from an overbearing, mentally unstable (ah sorry, he has 'mental health' as he kept insisting on his show) idiot like Tyson and I hope her husband allows her to do that.

Me too. From what the posters inside the community they seem like an amazing tightnight group of people. How do they feel about dating women from the settled community? Think I might try and bag myself a traveller man to be honest, at least they seem to have some ounce of masculinity in them unlike British men!

Her mother talked about it on the Netflix show.

Oh no, definitely not. In fact, I'd say the opposite was true. Also if the couple did want any intervention such as IVF and they couldn't afford it, their friends and family would insist on helping with the cost.

Yeah, you’d soon feel the brunt of that, one way or another

Must be true then!

you said up above things where scripted for the show.

Im guessing you havent watched their netflix show?

In it, her mother talks to Venezuela about what she will do with her life. Venezuela says that she doesnt want to get a job. Her mother says "what will you do then, live off your dad?".

Venezuela says " yes".

Thank you ❤️
It's so important that whilst we (as Travellers) fight to be respected and to not face discrimination, we also fight to change the barbaric practices within our culture.
Choices are not real choices unless you are making them in the condition of your own choosing.
I saw a post up thread saying that Venezuela could get divorced if she really wanted to, that poster has no idea of the consequences of divorce within the Traveller community. It's not just personal shame or being disowned by your family, it's the shame it brings onto your siblings too. Getting a divorce could literally mean that your younger siblings would not be matched. That kind of pressure is what leads Traveller women into staying in abusive marriages and putting everybody else's needs before their own.

Some Traveller children are 'given the choice' to stay or leave education but realistically, how many children given the chance would leave school at aged 10? An enormous amount because at that age they cannot forsee the long term consequences of missing out on an education.

You're right it's the same for young Traveller boys too. They are also removed from education and taught to be 'tough' and 'masculine' and not talk about their feelings which is why the suicide rate among young Traveller men is extremely high. It's absolutely tragic.

Being a Traveller is a very tough and chaotic lifestyle and there are so many challenges, it really isn't some romanticised version of living by your own rules.

Honestly I fear it would just be a massive attack

You are not telling anybody anything they didn’t know by suggesting reality tv is scripted!

A male relative being very wealthy definitely is not the same as having access to your own money.

Some of the views on this thread are shocking.
Child marriage is fine so long as the child agrees
Girls don't need a secondary education or qualifications
The only option being available to them is cleaning and childrearing and that's fine because as a child they 'chose' it
No issues with women being totally reliant on their fathers and husbands to give them money.

Some of the posters on this thread would have been backwards 100 years ago.

Well Tyson doesnt seem the type to let his daughter slide into poverty. He bought a massive house for them all to live in, he paid for her wedding. Venezuela has just written an instagram post saying that her dad has done so much for her and she couldnt have asked for a better dad.
