14-year-old boy marries 42-year-old woman.

In a move that is sure to fuel late-night talk show host’s monologues for weeks to come, the state of Alabama has allowed a 14-year-old boy to marry a 42-year-old woman. Interestingly enough this is entirely legal under Alabama law.

“It is unusual but it’s nobody’s business,” Daina said during a brief telephone interview. “It’s nobody’s business who I fell in love with.”

She said she feared that the information, once known, would jeopardize her job and possibly the custody arrangement of her children.

“We happen to be on the proper side of the law,” said I.V.’s father. “It’s in the laws of five states. Why is it so wrong?”

It seems that at least two other states, Kansas and Texas, allow 14-year-olds to marry with just parental consent. The boy’s father feels his son is mature enough to make such a decision even at his young age and offers the following words of wisdom when asked if he thinks the marriage will last:

O’Rourke said he believes that Daina and I.V.’s relationship will last.

If not, “Divorce is easy,” he said. “If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.”

I would like to suggest a new slogan for Alabama license plates: It ain’t pedophilia if he/she is your spouse!

good evening my little cherubs....does any body believe in reincarnation????
these two might be about the same spriitual age…
and have not been able to realize their love in all this time...so now ...in an awkward and impractical world...they decided to love each other...and make love...no matter what…

i beleive and am quite sure we are all reincarnated many many times....
have you ever wondered why some young kids are way smarter and wiser than some older kids...or older like 80 years old...some people...like bush
have the age of a 10 year old playing with military toys...and feeling extra special in his little suits ....but do you think his soul is really mature??? i doubt it babeeeeee…
so this 14 year old might be an old soul in the body of a youngster…

another point i would like to make is that ...basically there is not much difference between the age of 10 and 100 years in the age of the universe...and fo r the universe we only live for a macro micro fraction of a second....

in any case love is better than destruction…

and another thing...we are on this planet to experience life...and make choices....ying and yang...live learn grow...nothing is permanent…
it doens’t matter if they stay together...they need the experience to both grow..i guess....
it snot like the kid was forced into marrying her.

big bbisoux to all of you little cherubs....

strategies...where the white are always in power…
and the minorities...struggling to pay the debts…
mostly workign at burger king and mcdonals....
and then there is the high of stop and shop..price chopper...and the big big shopping malls...where the fountain of life is coca cola…
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm morals moral s morals....

where the chickens and animals are all sitting still in jars...injected with manifactured infections to feed our children...dead living bodies...we feed our childrten...hmmmmmmm

morals morals morals...where having your liscence and a car is the shure way fo gaining respect and
maturity…

where old people are thrown into dying centers...what you call the convalescent homes...and then they can never go out..and the ones they had given life to no longer acknowledge their presence in the world...where our mothers and fathers when beocmeing too old are thrown into white jails because they could no longer work in corporate america…

hmmmmmm....where the drug market seems to be one of the only ways for many minorities to feed their families…

hmmmmm....morals morals...morals..............
where the people of this land...the human beigns of all nations...were massacred....

hmmmmm morals morals morals....

picking on a 14 year old and a 42 year old...when
in the past most men of that age always married 14 year olds with no problem…

where pedophilia has a price....if you are rich…
you will never be fingered…

ps= humans were never meant to be with only one mate.

thats just a human tradition....which has grown
stale and made a little of frustrated candidates.

its cave man and cave woman mentality to clutch for dear life to one partner...all their life…

marriage is boggus most people involved inthis
tradition usually suffer silently...if not cheating

It’s that old addage, when you are young you think you are blazing a trail, and then one day you look down and notice it’s a beaten path.

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

ECLIPSE

many people think it is gross but i think love is love.i am 15 and i like this guy and he is 25. i think that i love him but i am afraid to date him because i dont want to see him go to jail because of me. i told him that if he really liked me to that he could wait for me but the truth is that i dont want to wait.there is a little part of me that does want him for sex but there is a bigger part of me that loves him.sex is not that important to me but i will let him take it to the next level with me because i love him that much.

I am a 43 year old woman and I know a 15 year old boy who swears he loves he. He has begged me for my address, my phone number, for hugs, for kisses, for any shred of attention (including negative attention).  I care for him and hope when he matures, if he still wants my friendship, we can be friends. But because I care for him, I will wait until he is 18.  I imagine by then, he will have a girlfriend and forget all about me. But if not, I will support his journey towards maturity and try and teach him the difference between love and sex. If we have love, we will be friends for life. If we have sex, it will over in a week or so and the one who would end up hurt would be ME. For sure. Young boys are fickle and they often only want what they can’t have. NO WAY IN HELL will I allow myself, as an aging woman who is flattered by the attention of a “young hottie” to allow myself to become vulnerable to him in a romantic way. Friends, sure, when he’s 18.....  big sister? auntie? second mom? SURE!  but lovers?????  How will I feel when he’s 18 and the best thing I’ve had in years and then he dumps me for a hard body 19 year old. The pain would be too great.

ok..i wrote a long thingy but i didnt enter email so it got fucked and lost it..

but i just said i think u shouldnt freak out over this..

im 17 and love someone 14 years older than me… i love her and cant see why u think its hard to spend time with someone older than urself… she is acctually lots more fun to be with than many younger ppl… i dont se eher as old at all..and i love spending time with her… and i just want to spend the rest of my life with her… smile

(sry i wrote more earlier but cant be bothered to write it all again now since i lost it)

oh..and old hag..

the thing u said...i kinda heard something similar from that person i love smile

but..not anymore tho...cuz shes realized i really do love her.. and she trusts me.. smile

im not saying that what youre saying is totally wrong… and if u really think he would dump u for someone else.. then No.. u shouldnt .. of course not.. if u cant trust him and u expect him not to want you much more than that.. i would definatly not recommend u to go into a relationship with him.

however if he really really loves you and wants to be with u forever and u can trust him… then u shouldnt be too afraid of getting hurt.. smile

even if im hurt...i would still appreciate the great time ive had with that person.. .even tho i would wish and hope for it to last forever. smile

but what do i know ... im just a lil boy wink

eum.. well what i tried to say was something like…
u cant trust him - NO
u trust him and he really means what he says - YES

smile

dont really expect u to pay any big attention to what someone like me writes tho.. im not really experienced in relationships and im crap to communicate with ppl in a good way smile just thought i could say something here..... smile

(dont got anything else to do anyway.. -.-)

I find this sick and wrong… SICK AND WRONG. Yea kids are tempted for older women but i didnt think THAT old.. sheesh.. i understand 14 and 17 thats cool.. But 42!? This is just a...a..sick odessy...Yet that marriage is to Imminent to die....Love can make you do crazy things but that isnt love, he just wants some one to use and throw away when she dies he knows he’ll have her money and crap…

Curt United States Posted on 07/27/2005 at 09:52 AM

And ya’ll are sick some of you.. some of you actually have brains..Love may be love but You need to think about it in extent...Dateing some one WAY WAY older then you is good in a Knowledge sense but if he’s 14 he hasnt matured yet. he will always be a kid, he is laying in be with an old women for crying out loud people! Use your brains!!! Thats seduceive! Its called Adultrey, This is way worse then gay marriage! And i am straight! I bet people with brains would prefer gay marriage over Older marriage. I under stand yea 10 years older… but you arent mature if your 14-17 you dont know what TRUE love is! You dont know what commitment is! Human nature= If your bored you’ll cheat! Unless you know your true hearts Desires! You know nothing of love! and this comeing from a 14 year old.. I say this because love is the most Complicated feeling. there is a level and a test you must past to know if you truly know love. OK!? so stop saying they love each other. cause they dont. Even if they say it they dont mean it. Yea some of you swear you love them, yea i think i love certain girls to, but face it when your young its merely Attraction, if you REALLY like them you’d do anything for them. just not sexually… Sex is something that should be done in marriage of the purests of love. dont have sex with some one cause you love them and know you’ll cheat on them sooner or later! sex is also to create a family with in your image. So please my fellow teens.. Dont try to say you know love when you dont.

Eh, I wouldn’t go so far as to say a 14 year old can’t possibly know what love or commitment is.  My brother and his wife are 46 years old, and they’ve been together since they were 14, happily married since they were 18.

But I still wouldn’t recommend anyone my age (43), man or woman, get involved with a teenager.

I actually know Ivy in person he went to my shcool and just recently moved again. I was amazed to hear that he had done that.  You just have to know Ivy. He is a really cool dude. Hes not perverted like yall say or anything.  And he has actually switched to dating girls two years younger than him.  But yeah i highly disagree with stuff like that. I really do not like pedophiles that much my self.  But i dont personally have anything against them. You really cant judge either of them by the tabloids.  I love Ivy to death… he is a great guy and he knows his mistake.  But just maybe next time, avoid using words like perverted and sick if you dont know a thing about a person.

People have forgotten…
It wasnt much more than 150 year ago that:
(1) You got a job at 9 if you were a girl, 10 if you were a boy
(2) You married at 12 or 13 when you were a girl, 15 or 16 if you were a boy (on average)
(3) A girl who turned 17 or 18 was considered to be an OLD MAID and UNMARRIABLE
(4) Most societal introductions for arranged marriages were done between the ages of 5 and 8, and the marriages were usually held on the 15th or 16th birthday of the girl.
(5) A guy that was un-married by 20 was destined to become a priest.

All that has changed is that people live longer than they used to.  The age of people being married has been as low as 8 years old over the centuries.  It is still low in most other countries.

And for those that wish to thump the Bible - I will give you a quiz… At what age did Mary marry Joseph?  You can figure out how hold Joseph was from this as well…

This is one of the best examples I’ve seen of how society in large general has become so twisted with it’s own image. In general we see something that at one point history wouldn’t have made us look twice, but at this date and time, we bash it, because it’s morally wrong.

We disagree with it, because in this date and time society in a whole, is still unsure what it’s moral view points should include and exclude. It makes it all rather interesting to watch, doesn’t it.

Mind you, I don’t exactly agree with it. But I can’t exactly speak out against it. I’m 22, married to a man eleven years my senior. However, by american standords(I’m british) I didn’t have the normal childhood/teenage years and was rather very mature by 17 for my age. An eleven year age different didn’t rock the boat to much for me, because the boys I’d dated before meeting my husband may have been a year or so older then me, but generally acted like 10 year olds.

But 28 years...now wait just a moment. Sure, a hundred or so years ago, this wouldn’t have been completely unusual, IF it had been a reverse, 42 year old man marrying a 14 year old girl. But in the 21st century, I think they needed to ask themselves, what it was, they REALLY wanted. Sure, the boy may have been mentally ready for the marriage, but did he REALLY want to find her false teeth, change her nappies and been seen with her in public when she was in her 80s? I don’t think so, because the cultural image, played out to teens this day, doesn’t paint an all to pleasing picture for something like that, does it.

And I really think the woman should have stopped to consider what this was going to do to her OWN children. If her OWN son was the boy’s best friend, did she STOP to ask her son what he felt, what he was going through? Sure, step-father and son may have been able to do their homework together, but what was the mental and emotional trauma the boys were going through? Their friendship is never going to be the same… at 14, you’re still trying to figure out who you are, who you want to be.

However, one fact remains out of all it. We are all human beings, with a wide rang of emotions and thoughts. And as such, we are subject to make mistakes. We can’t exactly get away with going around telling other people that this, that and such is bad, immoral, ect.ect.ect. As a wise man I once knew told me, “We are not put on this earth to pass judgement on others, to condemn and persecute. We must make do with the time given to us, to live our OWN lives.”

But I think we are very much intitled to make mistakes, and learn from them. And now that these two are divorced, perhaps they will learn from their mistakes, and live a happier life because of it.

Lots of interesting points here, many idiotic ones. 

I work with a 55 year old woman who married at 17.  She’s still with her husband, but she has repeatedly said that she would not recommend getting married at such a young age.  At the tender age of 19, I would agree.  I think back to when I was 14, and I didn’t know shit.  When I’m 25, I’ll probably look back on when I was 19 and laugh I my presumed knowledge.

My issue is with marriage at a young age in the first place.  If people are in love, that’s their buisness, but I’m quite happy to remain unmarried for a while.  Someone once said that you have to know how to be single before you can know how to be married.
