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?

And I don’t think anyone needs an education in cleaning. Cooking maybe but you can just follow YouTube videos nowadays and get pretty good. I value literacy more.

In the travelling community this is the norm

Are traditional gender roles a new concept to you? They've been around a long time.

It wasn’t so long ago that settled people married young, granted society has swung in a completely different direction, not necessarily a better place.

Travelling girls at 16 are far more mature than the average 16 y.o. They’ve a lot of responsibility from a young age, unlike my 17 y.o.

So? Explain.

What else will she do?

As sure as day follows night, Scarlettjune is back to have a pop at England (where she oddly chooses to live and pays taxes)

Why is it? Why can’t they stay in education until they’re (at least) 16, and then become a SAHM?

Married at 16?! FGS. No need for that at all in the 2020s. I agree. It's wrong on so many levels. I wonder who she has married/who he is/how she met him?

Afraid I agree with @BridgetJonesV2

Really? I would be bored to tears. Each to their own, but it's nice to have a choice. Nothing wrong with making that choice as long as it IS a choice, not cultural pressure.

Awww. Poor Fernfaery is so sensitive that she can't take one single bad thing written about England.

How immature.

Can I write "the weather is bad here". Is that too harsh for you to read?

I have contributed to threads where I have written nice things about England. You dont seem to mention those.

Hmmm

This is not strictly true
I am a gorger but work with several traveller girls who are all educated to at least finishing senior school , integrated into society and tell me things are definitely changing
If they want to go down that route , marry young , stay home and look after the home , they can , but no one forces them to .

I feel a bit sorry for you. As somebody who loves a rant and has a few red button topics, you carry an awful lot of resentment and anger in you and I hope one day you can let it go.

I remember your user name because you are vociferously against vaccination.

Many challenged you, but you remain steadfast in your beliefs.

So what gives you the right to now call people ignorant? You are simply being asked legitimate questions - that I imagine are mostly in good faith.

Why not answer reasonably, instead of being so combative.

I worked with traveller families for years before changing roles. I met teenage girls who begged to stay in education, didn't want to marry/find a boyfriend or found a boyfriend outside their community, and I witnessed the emotional and occasionally, physical abuse meted out in response. I saw young women coerced and bullied and I saw young men with mental health and SEND needs denied appropriate support by their families.

So people on here can defend a lifestyle which they think they chose but I've seen the damage caused to some of those young women and men first hand. They didn't choose it. Nor did they want it.

I still see one of those young women, now much older of course. She had to leave her family behind to have the life she wanted. She exists. Many like her exist. Denying her experience is futile.

Controlling and abusive behaviour towards children is everybody's business.

I’m so sick of “open minded”, middle class women condoning shocking behaviour. No it is not okay that traveller women are taken out of education at 11 and heavily socialised to become house slaves. Just because it’s culture does not make it acceptable. Your virtue signalling as wokists perpetuates harm. Not every cultural practice is good. Some need to be stamped out.

I say this as a poc. Paris is largely protected because of her dad. Thousands of traveller girls are not so lucky.

Shame on anyone condoning female oppression

Now you are just being weird. Why are you obsessed with me? Jog on love.

A lot of posters on this thread have expressed negative viewpoints

How strange that you don't think that they are "full of resentment and anger". Only me. Hypocrite.

And the Isle of Man isn't in the UK regardless.

Choosing to be a SAHM as opposed to it being the only option available are very different scenarios. I’ve been a SAHM so clearly I don’t see it as being a bad thing per se, but if I was expected to be a SAHM and given no choice then that’s a different matter.

Yep, I very much doubt she is 'happy.'

.

He is 19, she is 16. They've been together a year so in other words he was 18 and dating her at 15.

I dont really pay that much attention to them but from what I saw Tyson Fury seemed quite progressive regarding girls/womens eg didnt he want her to stay in education?

Im sick of posters like you writing "middle class". Don't you know that class is an offensive term?

😂

Travelling girls are no longer leaving education young. There is travelling teenagers in every secondary school across Ireland and colleges including universities.
Many of the women who weren’t educated work in care roles and cleaning jobs, things have changed.
There is 3 girls in my DD year sitting there leaving certificate. It’s possible to get married in have a job.
There is a long way to go but that road is open.
They’ve faced a lot of discrimination over the years, their children removed from centuries by authorities drove them in secrecy too.

When a child is prevented from receiving an education, their personal growth is absolutely stunted.

They are stopped from learning about the outside world and the opportunities they have, the choices and options that are available to them. Their rights & responsibilities. Their life is severely limited. Yes, this happens in many parts of society, but it is very deliberate in traveller culture.

What I don’t know is whether traveller parents who remove their kids from school at, say, age 11 are pursued by education authorities and social services in the same way that non-traveller parents would be. I would certainly hope so.

Do we even know if they are legally married? It could all be a show, the photos etc will make them ££££s. I assumed the kids would follow Paris and Molly, and become influencers etc. The wedding gives them content for their Netflix show.
