. . . but I do hope you've read more of the thread since this entry.

Do you actually think, for even a moment, that a 12 year old girl can make a free choice about issues of marriage, sex and etc?

Certainly not in the U.S. Have you ever slept in a Gypsy camp? It's a very educational experience.

What part of Minor don't you understand?

None.

Who’s will do you think that little girls actions reflect. Her own?

Likely. There are any number of reason. Or:

"The dress was heavy and I went to my cousin's to arrange my dress and use the bathroom."

Why do you think she returned to the wedding after storming out?

Well, the media (Reuters, Ltd) claimed she stormed out. Perhaps she did. Why return? I would say to complete the ceremony.

So this is a leftist media creation?

What I said was "media bias." If you wish to think it leftist, or not, or patently accurate, I guess that's okay, too.

Could it be that she had no other choice, nowhere to go, was completely (like a child) dependent on the adults that were driving her to do this?

"Arranged marriages, btw, have been going on for hundreds of years, and I have been in attendance at such weddings in Italy involving Gypsies -- who are considered outcasts in Italy. My opinion is that we really have no business imposing."

So has ritual murder. So has slavery. This is ritual murder of innocence and slavery of two children. Good to see where you stand at the end of the day.

Hardly.
