News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules

Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.

Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Check age of consent laws for American states. Find that outrageous? LOL, next have a look at Europe.

If it's legal to have sex with a 16 or 17 year old, it's legally consistent to allow marriage.

You are working under the assumption that the consequences of sex and marriage are the same. Much of the world doesn't agree, as per your list.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world -2 points 4 days ago

I'm thinking we agree? In any case, the age of majority, marriage and consent are all over the place on this Earth, and almost all are under 18. Again, if you can fuck you should be able to marry, to be legally consistent.

You both need to check Aisha's age before even comparing US or Europe to it

Classical Islamic sources state that Aisha was six at the time of her marriage with Muhammad and nine at the time of its consummation.

I'm well aware, just commenting on modern age laws perhaps being crazier than most people know.

I guess being from Europe I don't find the numbers particularly crazy, at least considering the context
