I'm technically not allowed to post to his topics anymore, but screw that bullshit.

I, personally, didn't think of sex at ALL when I read that he had "gotten engaged". See, Tama, you don't seem to understand that in India, it's actually going to happen, no matter what the kid says. In their culture, being a virgin is very much sought after, and yes, it helps these children think, "That is my husband, I will save myself for him" but it will also make them sob hopelessly. It's not a game for them. It's life.

But that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this case. His parents DIDN'T plan it, his parents AREN'T planning his marriage, and his boyfriend didn't even propose the cultural way that OUR society does things (Ring). So why should we as Americans even believe in it?

You love blabbering on about American culture, I would think you understood a bit of it by now.

Engagement is cultural, and in American culture, an 18 year old doesn't propose to a 12 year old. Why? Because that is the way it is done, just like in India.

This has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with this kid thinking marriage and engagement is a game, which it absolutely isn't.

QUOTE
The western thought of this 12 year old being engaged is nasty. But in a worldly view it's just part of a culture


Who thought it was nasty? A bunch of 14 year olds? A bunch of 14 year olds on a forum represents all of America?
