It was a cultural thing!!! And

I don't really know how you can claim to be a morally conscious person and turn a blind eye to abuse and injustice in the name of not "disrespecting a culture".

even in the west people of the age of 15 years where considered old enough for marriage and all that comes with it. And usually this was girls marrying older well off men

I didn't know that lol I just don't think a teenager at that age is able to handle a marriage, they need to focus on themselves and find their "real" self first before taking huge steps like this.

I remember myself being 15 and totally immature, I couldn't even handle myself.

To be honest I think that you shouldn't even marry when you're 18 since that's pretty young too, the 30's are the perfect time to marry since you are completly grown up and can think more rational than when you are at a younger age, but that's just my opinion.

Slavery was a cultural practice. And "God" didn't ask for anything.

you were immature because society allowed you to be. You are not required to start and support a family or fend for yourself at that age. And so you didnt.

a tenth of everything you earn per year actually...“Take your son, your only
son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the
land of Moriah, and offer him there as a
burnt offering on one of the mountains of
which I shall tell you.”

Rightfully so, no kid needs to support a family or fend themselves.

Buying a bride should be illegal everywhere, tbh.
If you know that verse, then clearly you know that God was testing Abram. This should be part of literature 101

yes, lets all support the lazy nature of our youth.

that religious studies actually, and he still asked for one did he not? Killed the first born son of every egyptian to free one race...

It's not their culture, it's their religion. I think it's very rude to blame religious practices you dislike on somebody's culture. One can't change where he comes from or what ethnicity he is, but one can easily change his religion.

And child marriage should be banned. Ruining a child's future is not ok

The Bible was written by man. Again, "God" didn't ask for anything. If we want to bring religion into it, shall we go on to discuss all the things "God" said is a sin that everyone, including yourself, probably does on a daily?

Sis, please tell me how a kid is financially,physically and mentally able to support a family at the age of 13-15?

I respect your opinion but I just can't imagine a kid doing all of that. A kid should focus on homework, hobbies and friends at that age and not how to build up and support a family on their own.

I thought religious people believed that God created every soul and he owned them all so how in the world is that "killing"
