anyone seeing this episode. ... things arent what they appear. The girl isnt just shaking cause she scared. The fire accident was a blessing. Taking her away from (whatever allow 12y to be married) to a house filled with caring people (hospital) . Her body is actually noticing the change in the environment and breaks down, as she finally allowed to break down..... As she coming back it isn't a coincidence the marriage and the dolls are shown. or rather thats why she starts moving again. She honestly isnt there, but her body just want others to know how she was suffered and DEMAND change, this is so much on a body-emotional experience, then regular conversation. Its beautifully shown too.

The fact that a certain group of people in the USA are at this very moment supporting 12 year old being married is rather ironic.

[@Wmuthoni]

Many nations around the world have passed strict laws against these child marriages I’m originally from Kenya and the law passed years ago will get you 20yrs in prison they equate child marriages to child sex slavery. In the US only 6 states have passed no exception child marriage laws. Virginia passed a ban on the exception of minors who are emancipated provided they are both minors. Even if you live in these six states that have zero tolerance like New York one can marry in another state that allows it like Missouri and there is nothing that NY can do about it coz all states have to respect each other’s laws. I find it ironic that the US goes around the world preaching about women’s rights yet they have one of the poorest women outcomes among developed countries with over 250,000 child marriages and that’s only in the past 30 yrs and 87% of child marriages involved girls marrying men who are at least on average 10+yrs older. This is due to not only to state rights but also the two party system that monopolizes the political system only addressing women’s issues when it’s convenient for them because politics matter more than the general welfare of a child. The federal government will only address child marriages if people add immense pressure upon it to act in the best interest of children and their communities.

The problem with this episode is that New Amsterdam is in New York and child marriage is illegal in New York. In 2021, the legal age was raised to 18 w/no exceptions, before that in 2017 it was 17 with parental consent, but even before that it was 16 with parental consent and 14 with a court order. Lily's marriage would have been illegal no matter when they wrote the episode.

Of course, both situations are pretty horrible, I hope you get my meaning.

I keep hearing conservatives talking about how wonderful and fulfilling it is to be a very young mother. I grew up knowing many girls who were raised this way and have done much the same-- at least 20 between 1979-1990. 40 years later, none of those marriages succeeded. Only 1 girl got through college, and that was beauty school, easily a third of them lost custody, over half had been or were were being treated for cervical cancer by age 30, a few died of drug &/or alcohol ODs, 2 were murdered, several ended up infertile well before the age of 25 due to untreated PID including a just-divorced 19 year old with 4 kids under age 5 all with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome who required a hysterectomy, an ileostomy, and spent a week in a medically induced coma in the ICU, bcz by the time her medicaid-approved OB/GYN appointment finally arrived her entire uterus had gone septic and rotted into her intestines. Her husband was 26, and illiterate. He sold drugs and collected scrap and liked to bring home all his buddies from the bar to have sex with her; that was how he "earned" his drinking money. After a few days her liver failed due to all the NSAIDs/alcohol she'd consumed to deal with all the pain she was in while she waited that 6 months for that appointment. 10 days after that delayed appointment she was dead and her kids placed with their 36 year old waitress grandmother and 45 year old chronically unemployed grandfather. Her daughter later gave birth at 13. She had the mental age of an 8 year old. She had 2 more in 2 years before she died of congestive heart failure. Rural US Heath Care at its 20th century best. The boys didn't turn out any better. Most were trapped in low-wage, dead-end jobs, or were worked like mules for their fathers in law until their bodies gave out. These days, the ones that didn't drink themselves to death, or wrap themselves around a tree at highway speeds, are in jail, or trapped in low-wage industries and still being hounded by the families of the girls they were never permitted to be able to acquire the means to provide for. Nobody wins when children birth children. I also had a school-friend who was [her word "seduced" my word "raped" ] by a local DJ, who was over the age of 26. She became pregnant, and gave birth in 10th grade the weekend after she turned 14 after being taken to the hospital for her appendix. She hadn't known she was pregnant, and I honestly believe her. Her mother was so religious that she hadn't allowed her to receive any formal sex education whatsoever, including what the parts of her own body were called, and their purposes. The only thing her mom taught her was "God makes women bleed for their sins", so when her periods stopped, she thought she was "right with God." She didn't even know that a penis could impregnate her until her son's 4 month checkup, because her own mother had told her that her infant son's erections meant she was a "seductive" mother and had made her stop cuddling him. City, county, state and federal money for social services and social service workers were needed to care for all of those child-headed families, their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren , whether they were "religious" or not, whether the parents "helped" or not; all those young families and their children struggled through needless hardships and suffered needless emotional trauma that permanently stunted their potential, and trapped them in generational patterns of poverty and exploitation they might otherwise have escaped. It sickens me that 30 years later, this is still the type of existence that conservative leadership believes is "best" for our children. Stunting them so they stay close and dependent.

[@nicoles7550]

​@@JaefarSABNWThe bible acknowledges addiction and overindulgence are common in mankind. It also states that there is a way back to sobriety 1 Corinthians 10:13. The thing about context is that its everything. Galatians provides guidance on what an ideal Christian should aim for, forbearance, humility and kindness among them. Galatians talks about a life of drunkeness, which I think is entirely different from suffering from an illness, which is what alcoholism is. I'm not saying that it's not possible to be an alcoholic and be a bad person, some of the people OP's post prove that, but to say the two are inherently the same is too far. The bible is often used to justify all kinds of behaviour and arguments. That doesn't make them right. God gave man hearts and minds that we may feel and discern right from wrong. The bible can be helpful, but it isn't a substitute for God. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that God doesn't advocate for raping and abusing young women, whether you're sober or not.
