isn’t that forcing our belief system upon them?

And the British were wrong for stopping wife immolation at their husband’s funerals....

Good sarcasm. You know liberals will equivocate the Islamic practice of child brides today to the 19th century practice of girls at 16 getting married in the USA.

Only in the Islamist areas is the idea of child brides championed. And a girl in the US marrying at 16 in the 1800s is not on the same plane. My grandmother married my grandfather at 16 in 1892. He was 22. They were married for 71 years until she died at 87. He outlived her by only a week and died at 93.

Those of us in Judaeo-Christian civilized area acknowledge our past and believe it was a mistake to have child brides in medieval times, and that times have changed as far as 16+ goes.. That it is better to be educated....And marry in the mid-late 20s... Although it doesn't work out.

This is altogether different from colonial India, since the British ruled over their colony and were therefore responsible for the rule of law in the Raj. Africa is not our colony and therefore does not fall under our jurisdiction, so this is none our business. It is abhorrent, but not our business.
