You need to learn about the tu quoque fallacy. Saying that "You atheists get your morals in a stupid way too" or "Well you have a stupid age of consent too" is not a defence of where you get your morals. Especially when what you say about us is made up nonsense.
My TV doesn't tell me that people deserve to burn for not submitting to it, so it is a superior moral guide. It doesn't make excuses for marrying children either. Trusty old TV. I'm trying to figure out where I came out of it.
Morality changes, because society changes. Saying morality is objective except where it's inconvenient for the story isn't very convincing.
So why should I be embarrassed I just don't lie like others here do .
I have 3 sisters one got married at the age of 16 and one at the age of 36 and another at the age of 28 so u see we don't force them it's just up to them to decide .
Early marriage is sometimes the solution for problems by example if my older sister didn't get married at that age and we refused she will be forced to commit fornication and even if that's ok in western society but look at the problems it's making many children are in the streets because of that.
So let's stop calling things as we hear them from others but as they truly are in a muslim community if u force ur daughter to get married at an early age is a sin and u will be ashamed by it and the same thing if u forbid her to get married and you will be considered unfair in both situations.
