Stand Up Comedy

Readers will recall the furore in God’s Own Country that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman.

Now read, “common law marriage is legal between kids”.

Yes fags. Relying on English Common Law, one portion of God’s Own Country decided yesterday, it could be legal for girls at 12, and boys at 14, to enter into common law marriages (compared to traditional ceremonial marriages where the minimum age is 18 – or 16 with parental judicial approval).

The judges stopped short of setting a specific minimum age for common law marriages. FuelMix thinks 12 and 14 is minimum enough.

But it is laughable. On the one hand, they set the bar of marriage so high that it can only be between a man and a woman. And on the other hand, they allow kids to common law marry (then point fingers at other countries where as part of their culture, such marriages are “arranged”).

Had it been a same sex situation where the man was 35 and the kid was 14, the man would have been called all sorts of nasty things and be accused of exploiting the kid. If both were 14, they would have been called perverted and attention-grabbing.

Thank you. Thank you very much.
