Many liberals actually support things such as this and an age of consent under 18, rapist Muslims, Hollywierd supports guys like Roman Polanski etc..... so the irony is that the NY Times is attempting to use this as an article to slam certain states just like they always do, but their base actually has no problem with any of it.
She doesn't say it was consensual either, and on the balance of probability where a 14 year old has sex with an older man and reports being confused, shamed, and helpless, I highly doubt it was consensual.
He is described as a "young man".

It was rape. And its not a minor thing - she was made to marry her rapist, can't you imagine how that must have felt.
I can't even be sure what happened, much less imagine how she felt about it or why.
Sorry the truth hurts you and many others on here. Liberals always point to Europe as a model the US should follow, and the age of consent is generally lower in European countries.

Which liberals actually support Muslim Sharia Law? It may not be as vocal as the Christian right, but it is there. The liberals just don't want to start unnecessary wars with Islam Which liberals don't want Roman Polanski facing justice for his crime? I'm not a liberal but I realize he has serious issues because his wife was killed in the Manson murder (Sharon Tate.) Not condoning the crime but that messes with your head.

It's statutory rape meaning it is rape because by age she couldn't give consent. She may say "yes" (I honestly don't know if she did or didn't) but she still cannot consent to the act. Understand?

What are you talking about? You posted no truth, just your own rambling prejudices and dull-witted misconceptions. Run along now and go find all those posts where I pointed to Europe as a model for something.
Oh wait, you might find one about the bistros in Paris having good, inexpensive wine and not rushing patrons.

Age of consent might be lower in many European countries but they don't allow forced marriage of underage children - someone getting an 11 year old pregnant would be going to prison, not to their wedding.
