Colombia: After Many Years of Whining, Women Finally Get “Child Marriage” Banned

Women are just angry they didn’t get married at 14 to a man who would be a new father to them, take care of them, guide their lives.

Women don’t really have rational thoughts, they simply interpret their emotions as valid reasoning, so you can’t actually say women are consciously angry at men for not controlling them. But feminism on the whole is absolutely a backlash against a lack of controls on women.

Women, like children, do not feel safe when they have no boundaries, and so, like children, women who do not have a man guiding and disciplining them lash out.

Colombia’s congress has voted to change a law that allowed minors to get married with parental consent.

The proposal would make the minimum age for marriage 18, and seeks to protect the rights and development opportunities for minors. It still must be signed into law by President Gustavo Petro.

Currently, the country’s civil code allows person as young as 14 years old to get married with parental consent.

The initial proposal to reform the law – presented in 2023 – used the slogan “they’re girls, not wives” and aimed to prevent young girls from being forced to marry, to be subject to different forms of violence and to miss out on education and development opportunities.

“Minors are not sexual objects, they’re girls,” congresswoman Clara López Obregón said in a statement after the proposal was greenlit.

Child marriage remains a widespread practice worldwide and affects around 12 million girls per year, according to the UN’s agency for children, UNICEF.

Redefining “child” was a mistake, but it came from the bigger mistake of redefining women as rational actors.

They are not rational actors.
