Vincent Mosby signed a marriage contract and paid a dowry in a religious ceremony in August, police said.
Mosby, 23, of Kansas City didn’t legally wed his 14-year-old bride, however, because Missouri law won’t allow it without a judge’s order. Police said she was pressured into the union because her mother and stepfather thought she was going to be sexually active with a boy her age.
*****
Police said the girl’s stepfather and mother became concerned that she was going to become sexually active, so the stepfather allegedly approached Mosby about marrying the girl. The girl was “strongly encouraged” to wed Mosby, police said.
The stepfather, Mosby and the teen had several “sit downs” before the stepfather arranged for a religious ceremony on Aug. 4 at her home, not far from the stepfather’s mosque.
Two members of the mosque attended, but the bride “was not allowed to be present,” court records said. She waited in her room upstairs. Her stepfather allegedly came upstairs after the ceremony, which consisted of prayers and a contract signing, to announce that she was married.

There’s a long antiquated history of arranged marriages in western Europe and even sporadically in America. But these arrangements, unless it’s for strictly political purposes among the higher classes or for financial reasons, great care was taken to make compatible matches and a time period of courting was allowed to see if the personalities and character would be a good match. Given the limited opportunities of the time for exposure exposure to suitable mates and the greater control parents had over the children, this was a largely successful custom. It worked for thousands of years. But what the muzzies do is brutally different. The girl has no say. She is mere chattel, nothing more.
The more bits and pieces of western culture muzzie women are exposed to, the better off they will be in the very, very long run.
God bless them and give them strength. May they gradually find the freedom and the outlets to express their talents, abilities and pursue their dreams.
I guess it was a better outcome than running her down with a car in the Phoenix case. I presume you heard about that case? Lovely girl. She died from her injuries a few days ago.

My Italian grandparents’ marriage was arranged.
Their little town had maybe 10 family names, so one of the reasons for arranged marriages was to avoid inbreeding.
There were no cars, no electricity, and no telephones in their town when they were growing up.
They had six children and were married for 68 years before my grandma died at 87. Grandpa died a few years later at 97.
The authorities in Kansas City Missouri are unlikely to be very liberal, or PC.
I work with a ministry to women who want to leave polygamy here in the US. In most polygamy (esp FLDS) groups, women are still treated like chattel and have no say. I know several women who had the same thing happen to them.
It still isn’t just the Muslims, although they do it on a grander scale.
No, really? It seems most big cities are dominated by liberals.
If KC, MO is not, then that is a welcome change.
why have us arrested of course...
Sounds like they were happy and healthy. We should all have it so good, although I am rather fond of electricity. :)
That’s fine work you’re doing. I pray they find their way out of the darkness they’re living in. On behalf of all women, I thank you.
> Sounds like they were happy and healthy.
They were indeed, but they never did learn to speak English.
=D
They could get by, and they could understand you better than you could understand them.

You wouldn’t miss it if you never had it. But now their home town is all modern. At the end of the WWII, the Americans rebuilt it.
After the Americans pushed the Nazis out, the American servicemen of Italian descent were going door to door with family names looking for relatives, and many were successful. The mayor of the town called a week-long feast to celebrate the reunification of the families.
Needless to say, the Italians are always looking for a reason to sing and dance.
:)
I love Italians and Italy - everything about them, their country and their culture. I even like the Mafia, lol! My best friend is a dago. ;) Italians are a magnificent, handsome people.
There is a saying that I like, relating to travel:
“If, when you die, you have been bad, you will go to a place where the French will greet you, the British will feed you, the Germans will entertain you and the Italians will organize you. But if you have been good, you will go to a place where the British will greet you, the French will feed you, the Germans will organize you and the Italians will entertain you.”
Thank you. But I do not do it for my glory, but all for the Glory of God.
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Cor 10:31).
BTW, you have freepmail.
LOL!!
I’m a 1st generation American.
Grew up in a mixed neighborhood, where there were a lot of folks of different ancestries; Irish, Italian, Jew, French, Greek, Spanish, even a few English here and there.
We all had names for eachother. I was a wop, greaseball, guinea, and the other ancestries had names, too. Once in a while, there’d be a scrap over it. But mostly, we just played ball or hockey and called eachother names, whether we failed or succeeded.
But kids from other neighborhoods could NOT use those names on our friends. “Hey, you can’t call him that. He’s a wop, but he’s MY wop!”
Sounds like fun. It seems like people of European descent aren’t thin-skinned about such things at all. All this “sensitivity” about ethnicity is absurd. Italians and Irish are particularly unconcerned about it.
BTW, I’m frog and mick. ;)
LOL!!!
My sister married an Irish guy.
My dad used to have a lot of fun with him. They became good and fast friends. My dad used to tease him by introducing him as “Baccala”, an Italian pun on his last name.
He’s a great guy, and exactly what my sister needed. She’s a high-strung Italian, and he’s an easy-going Irishman.
My sister and he are STILL married, 36 years later.
My Italian uncle says he’d rather live next door to an Irishman than an Italian, ANY day.
:)
The French in our neighborhood weren’t really frog french, they were French Canadians, so they were called C’nucks and Herring Chokers.
Yes, Europeans seem to be impervious to name calling. After centuries of fine-tuning their various characteristics into pejoratives, why cast such rich traditions aside?
:)
I worked in a black funk band. I was the only white guy. They used to even call me n****r. Made me feel right at home and part of the clan.
LOL
I wish we could turn back to those days.
“I wish we could turn back to those days.”
Agreed. People used to laugh at this stuff. The commies have made millions of all too willing people (mostly losers in one way or another) “sensitive” about such things. Of course, nobody knows WHY we’re supposed to be “sensitive” about ethnic references. If you ask, you get some unintelligible psycho-babble about “feelings” and “self-esteem” and “victims”, on and on, ad nauseam.
> “self-esteem”
When I was growing up, we had self-RESPECT.
Respect is the result of ACCOMPLISHMENT!
“Self esteem” is vanity, based on NOTHING.
It’s just another word for “NARCISSISM”, from whence I believe we got the word “SISSY”.
“SISSY” was THE WORST pejorative by far.
No ethnic pejorative came near. It was ALWAYS a fighting word.
