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?

And yet British women are more depressed than ever, so it seems like the traveller community is actually better for women.

Nah Im 42 now its too late. I also wouldnt be able to afford to go back to full time education.

It's everyone's business if kids are taken out of school, and deliberately kept from education and the chance of a different life, if they want it.

I think 16 is too young for marriage, I agree with the UK law.

Not true. Horrible comment.

Depends on your generation, I think, for boxers and the rest of us.

He's an enormously tall slugger who has poor competition most of the time. It's the way it is, but it will never be Ali/Foreman or even Ali/Liston or any other permutation of that crew.

By that logic, all conservative comunities which marry off their girls by 16 are good for women.
Because they have a low rate of divorce.

Most people aren't really mature enough to get married at 18 either.

So taking away choices and raising girls to be wives and mothers only and not to make their own way in life is a positive thing?

Each to their own but I am glad I have the choice not to marry/have children and can be independent

Which of course is largely due to women ‘knowing their place’

14. I don't recommend it, but it's also why I'm not good with leaving mine to the influence of poor schools and tv or tiktok.

Child marriage is everyone's business.
You can't excuse harmful practices by calling them cultural, whatever the culture.

Ah all good then. The cultures that rape, abuse and murder young girls and women who aren't being subservient by not adhering to their cultural norms.

FFS wake up.

You know there is a vast space between being let loose on TikTok and being brought up in your culture? It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

People do need to abide by the laws of the country they live in, especially when everyone else has accepted them without revolt. This is not Nazi Germany where opposition to imposed rules was valid, as an outrage to civilisation and humanity.

I wouldn't go to Saudi and crack open the gin publically.

This is sadly legal where I live as well. They need the sign off of the parents and a judge.

lawmakers here are actively working on changing the law to ban child marriage. I hope they succeed. There is absolutely no reason anyone under 18 needs to get married.

No one who isn’t financially and legally independent, and free of potential coercion, should be getting married.

Don’t want to start an argument and saying that is not why they moved there but they have been living on the Isle of Man for over six months and the younger children have all been in school on the Isle of Man for all of that time. They are also regularly seen at local eateries and places and engage in local events and seem to have integrated into the community. It isn’t just a base or a holiday home - they live their lives there.

Dear god, it's absolutely shocking the number of women on here defending girls not being educated or having ambition to have a great career.
It's almost like being back in the 18th century or living somewhere like Afghanistan.

Lol. Most people don't know at 40.

Do you also think the private and state school system is shocking then?

That every child doesnt have the same access to a fair education?

Because I think that is shocking.

Genuinely. Girls don't need a secondary education and it's better to marry them off as children so they're less able to get divorced 🙄

No sex before marriage?

Everyone has the right to choose their path. Without an education, children are trapped.

I refuse to call it “culture” when I see girls being given less education and having fewer choices than boys. That is discrimination regardless of where it happens.

Just to be clear, I know not all Traveller families decline to educate their children or marry them off young. I would never paint that broad a brush.

I am simply speaking about the concept that we must excuse discrimination in the name of culture.

Or his daughter.
