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!

I never said it wasn’t legal. I said it was stupid. It’s legal to smack yourself in the face with a frying pan too, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea for you to do so.

I was just pointing out that it’s none of our business. 

The fact that most laws are drafted by people that think things are morally bad and therefore the need to make it a law.

Many states have abandoned common law for statute or code laws.

Whether or not it’s any of my business doesn’t disallow me an opinion of it.

Again it’s really none of my business if you want to smack yourself in the face with a frying pan, but if I see you do it I’m going to feel free to say what an idiot I think you are for doing it.

You seem to be mistaking my criticism as being the same as having a desire to prevent it and that’s not the case. I fully support your right to do stupid things if you really want to, but I reserve the right to point out what an idiot you are for doing them.

I see that all the time, especially when you criticize someone’s point of view and they cry “censorship!“.  Nooo, ‘Censorship’ is when the government prevents someone from saying something.  Calling BS is not even remotely related to censorship.

Same deal with criticizing someone’s stupidity actions.  You aren’t keeping them from doing it.

well, on the maury show, maury said that they divorced and that the boy is now dating girls his own age…but i don’t know any girls who would want to go out with a boy who has had sex with his best friend’s mother…who happens to be 42

What’s fucked up is your command of the English language. Thanks for the laugh, though. Your comment was very amusing.

I think it’s wrong because he’s just 14 and she’s
42. it would be okay if she were a few years older but she’s way way older than him, when he’s 30 she’ll be like his grandmother. i would never marry a guy that older than me. but i guess the kid really loves her.

Look on the bright side people. She’s gonna blow his mind with the years of sexual expertise.

Yummy.

The marriage was a novelty and it seems that the novelty wore off.  What was she thinking when she married a 14 year old kid?  What were his parents thinking when they allowed their 14 year old son to marry anyone, of any age? 

I hope that the boy had a good romp and that he now has a great story to tell, with pictures and video.  I wonder when his kids will find out that their daddy’s first marriage was at age 14.  All I did when I was 14 was start smoking.

You know….when most of us were in school we—-both male and female—probably had a crush on one of our teachers.  But nothing never came about.

Why now are we hearing all of these stories in the news?  Did everyone see that gorgeous blond from Florida who had a relationship with one of her students?  You know…his friends think he’s the man!  He must have read this book or someting similiar.  I had this one teacher in high school that every guy wanted.  She was single and hot and was always teasing you with those skirts.

I wonder what happened to her.

I had an art teacher like that - the drop dead gorgeous Miss Barbara Dennehey.
If she’s still alive she’d be about 68 now.  LOL

Wow, two very clever bits of comment spam in one day. Someone’s working very hard to make their spam look like legitimate comments. Too bad I check the links when I get suspicious.

I’ve again edited them out.

You should pat yourself in the back les. Shows that people know your group’s got clout- and they want to suck your PR into their own useless, sad little sites.

Bravo!

The old bitch is a pedofile, although I’m sure the kid enjoyed it.  It should be illegal for a 14 year old to marry a 42 year old… but considering now that the kid is 18 years old or near it, I really can’t say I care anymore…

Hi,

I was 15 and I had a 30 year old girlfriend.  At the time I was really happy and I thought it was all good and we loved each other.  She kept going on about how she was depresed and how much better I made her feel and how she would get really bad again if I left her.  I didn’t relise at the time but these were all mind games she was playing and due to my inexpiriance I didn’t relise.  I was scared to leave her in case she killed herself.  I do feel now I missed out on a massive part of my childhood.  Growing up, looseing virginity normaly, picking up birds at night clubs.  All the things you do between 15 and 20.  It was all handed to me on a plate and I took it but I didn’t relise.

I am 26 now and my honest advice to a 14 year old involved with someone much older is.  Do what you want have sex with her if you want learn from an older woman but don’t let it get seriouse by all means dump her after or just go back for the expirience.  Being young is about doing what you want no commitments.  You have plenty of time to settle down.

Have Fun but don’t settle down till ya 25 or later and always USE A CONDOM because that can end your childhood to.

i saw them on maury if they think its ok to marry a 14 teen year old then why on earth would you go on maruy and say oh its a promblemthis was kid who went to school with his friend and marryed his best friends mom like ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

He has dozens of reason’s for banging an older woman, most of them obvious.

She is probably in a mid-life crisis. Being with a younger person can make you feel younger. Maybe he’s good at sex? Sure, he’s only 14, but unless he’s done you, you can’t really say. Maybe she’s lonely or depressed, and he’s a nice guy?

His parents probably thought it would be easier and quicker to say “sure, and we’ll help you fill out the divorce papers when you’re ready,“ than to fight him on it. If the parent’s said “no,“ this relationship probably would have lasted longer.

As for the morals, irrelevant. Doesn’t affect me. Good law though. The couple consents, and the minor party/parties gets parental permission.

i happened to have twins by the tender age of 14.
not that i was a sex crazy teen, but yeah, my first time was my last time for about 3 years since i had to take care of my two sons!!! Hello People
WITH 14 YOU ARE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE KIDS OR TO BE MARRIED!
and i should know cuz i learned it the hard way! ok it did end up being all good since my parents supported me, but “i” was not ready! my sons are 14 now and i have a functioning family with a bunch of kids and a hubby.
its all cookies and cream at our house lol
but if my boys ever come up to me, talking about marriage, before they got an education, a job, and in the best case a house… I WILL BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF THEM!!! and that from a mother of 5 who never spanked her kids!
that old hag is so wrong doing this and the parents of the boy must be retarded.
i know if someone who is an adult would lay hands on ANY of my kids (boys and girls) they would not get away alive.
yeah at some point teens will fool around… but hell… thats a different thing!!!
might be just my german opinion BUT GETTING MARRIED TO A 14YR OLD (BOY OR GIRL) IS SICK!!! and pedo is pedo. i dont care if you have papers that make it look legal!!!

i agree with you heidi, that is sick, and to me is pedophilia, and if any adult tried that shit with my kid, she would be a sorry bitch. 42 and 14, sick bitch.

People keep posting comments to this thread that go back and forth between “wrong” and “ok” (and variations thereof) without much effort in the definition of relationships.  To stir things up a bit, here’s a UK constable who proposes a bit more nuanced view.  Interesting to set aside one’s reaction and think of it from that angle.
