In other news, nearly a quarter of them are just fine with it.

Not exactly, but I get what you are telling

17.4% said ‘yes’, while 489 (6.1%) said ‘don’t know or can’t say’.

Nearly a quarter decided it wasn't worth the beating

So is three ok?

[-] boo@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

3.5

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Top-half or the bottom-half? Or if they’re half the age of an adult, is that a .5?

Conjoined twins

Yes

Can't they just not marry men who have more wives than they see fit?

[-] boo@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

I guess they can be forced by their family etc. Also this is part of a bigger discussion under Uniform civil code

[-] dudebro@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Can their family really force them to marry someone?

How does that work?

[-] boo@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Yes, especially if they are uneducated and poor. E.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_India

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Marry this man.

No.

Ok get out of my home and take your chances with the men on the streets who are sex deprived and can't find wives with a justice system that doesn't care. Also you might starve. If you get raped your bother might throw battery acid in your face.

The monotheists love the illusion of choice.

[-] dudebro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ok.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
