I just want to say that, that mom was the true MVP of this story. If I was divorced and my child went to visit her father and he allowed all of those things to happen behind my back I would be LIVID.
That mother really went above-and-beyond to protect her daughter.
I wouldnât want to be married at freaking 16 though I am not emotionally ready for marriage
IKR that mom is a badass đ
only problem with it being that she knowingly sent her child away to her husband who she knew was a cult member
I would even got the guts to beat him up
I remember a girl from my psychology class during college. She was heavily pregnant but still attending classes. One time, we had a game in class where we pick a piece of paper from the glass bowl and read the question and answer it in front of the class. She got the question of 'If you can turn back time, what event you want to change from your past? ' then she answered when she got married. She told us she's adopted and her adopted parents forced her to marry. She begged them not to but they never felt pity on her. That's when she realized her adopted parents never love her. In a shaky voice and teary eyes, she told us that if she could turn back time she will escape and do everything in her power not to be married. I feel so sorry for her. That is when I realized how she was always look sad and quiet. She just got married and got pregnant right away.
Poor her,must be a hard life. đš
so sad. so so sad.
Boul?
Por her I hope she has the best time rn

Me too. These marriages are abomidable.
I feel like people should be able to get married at the age of 25+ and be adults at 22 instead of 18..
@K - Dot only if they're ready
My parents had a shotgun wedding, my mom was 17, they were happily married until my dad's death in 2015.
I think it depends on culture. American culture is too Luke warm and you're treated like infants until you're 30 so of course a 15 year old woman from America shouldn't get married.
Even though that was the norm all over the world until about 60 years ago.
And I'm saying 15 year old woman because in nature there is adult and child no middle. If she gets pregnant she's biologically a woman and no longer a girl.
I agree. But I perfer under 21.

@@theanimehomie9078 they can just wait till their 18
Because there are societies within the US it is accepted by their entire culture, even children, as a way of life and I feel we have no right to interfere. However, I do believe that there should be restrictions on why. It makes sense if it is there cultural but as in instances such as this, there is no cultural or even religious reason why a marriage makes sense. It was simply a child predator and should have been prevented. Now, is there room for error? Yes. Absolutely. And we should work hard to make sure it happens as little times as possible...or never.
@@volzaac4775 Regardless of "culture" child marriage needs to be outlawed. There's being respectful to a religious belief but the need to protect children should always be paramount. There can't be one rule for children in a secular society and one rule for children in a "religious" or "culturally different" one. Child marriage just stinks of child abuse.
I remember i was helping this 15yo pregnant girl with some paper work and I asked for the baby fathers DOB... This man was in his 40s.
Apparently, this young girl had just arrived from Mexico at 13/14yo. The father of her baby was her dad's boss and her parents had a written letter how they are aware and give the responsibility to the 40yo sicko.
It sickened me. Parents are supposed to protect you and these parents just gave her away. I'm sure to benefit themselves in some way.
Obvious it arrange marriage for the parents so they can receive money from the boss. And some benefits
Cartel. Good old dad was probably afraid for his life.
Thank goodness that Heather had a responsible mother who fought for her and got her out of the mess that her father got her into.

@@simonpetrikov3992 I know you aren't defending child marriage, if you were then that'll make you my enemy.
I disagree, people shouldn't be allowed to marry at the age of 18 or 19(key word "teen") because they're either in high school or just freshly out, they are barely starting their lives as adults. The earliest age someone should marry is at the age of 20 but if it where up to me people should marry at the age of 24-30 because by then the individuals are already fully formed adults with their own lives in order.

Arranged marriage, if I was in one, I would just stare at the girl and be really confused. Wonât marry until stable in life, but Iâll just stare in pure confusion

@@Hi-vo9ku Honestly, sometimes it's better not to be married than to be in a marriage that's not so good. Emotionally at least.
Child Marriage is something that should be made illegal, as it really adds unnecessary stress on an already stressful point in life.
Disagree with that. I support marriage at age 10, people have too much rights nowadays, and stuff like jobs and education should not be a given. People should have the opportunity to opt out of school and live off the land at any age and not have to suffer from pressures of living a modern life.

I hope his name was on the birth certificate, and you sued for child support. Teen pregnancy is wrong.

As an American, I knew that marriage is legal for 16 year olds but I had no idea it was this deep and shady. I always had the impression that that law only affects consenting 16 year olds and no adults. This story of Heather and Aaron is why young teen girls shouldn't be allowed to get married. This is shocking to hear how common this is in the U.S...

Yeah same here.. I think that's about what I thought - that 2 young people could get married. Pretty messed up...
you do realize that she did consent to everything that happened to her though..
she said yes when under the influence
she said yes to her parents
she said yes the town hall
she said yes to the priest
yes what happened was unfortunate and iffy but she did consent. next time you find yourself in a relationship with a 25 year old guy as a 15 yr old girl dont say. "what kind of girl dates 25 yr old boys"
ask "what kind of guy dates 15 yr old girls"
When I was 18 I thought I was so mature I even wanted to marry my partner at that time. I was actually super childish & irresponsible. 18 year old are not adults yet mentally, so while people will argue 18 means you're an adult, I say no lol đ
I agree. At age 18 I was VERY much still a child. And yet look at all these dudes in the comments, arguing that girls )and it's always girls, never boys) should be allowed to marry older men at 18 or younger. I'm disgusted, but not surprised.
Ä° dont understand that rule youre 18 and you are all of the sudden mature you are mature when youre mentally ready in my opinion
Ah yes because you ONE person, was immature at the time means everyone at 18 is
Finally someone sane. A human brain isnt even fully developed by the age of 18.
Yet many these days take it as some miraculous age where a person becomes enlightened and knows the correct from the wrong and is absolutely responsible
You are speaking for yourself only.
Instead of prosecuting the predators the law rewards them with marriage licenses, disgusting. I'm proud of the survivors that have spoken out against it.

As a libertarian myself I am 100% AGAINST child marriage
I honestly think that the legal age to marry should be 20-21 so that adults have life experience before they marry
As a fellow libertarian I agree. If someone wants to get married they should not only be old enough, but also mature enough to take it seriously.
Same thoughts here.
Also we should thrive to show a good example ourselves to others so they are motivated to actually do the right thing/do what they really want. A lot marriages happen because of nonsense social pressures instead of free will.
We should help people realize what they actually want and need in their lives not forcing our believes(respect for the ones who never did this to others) on them!
I agree. My parents married when my mom was eighteen. It was only a day or two after both her b-day and high school graduation. When she told me that I remember thinking "Where the heck was your mother?" The sad thing was my mom had the opportunity to receive a higher education due to grandpa's military service. I just don't understand my grandma not trying to talk sense into my mom.
Why not hike it up to 26?? Even better than life experience.. a fully formed brain!!
This is sick and should come with a very harsh sentence for the adults involved.

That judge that said Keith should spend the same amount of days in prison as Heather was married was cool tho.
There have been many instances in Western countries where minors get married to adults. Also, there's a religious group known as the Mormons that marries young girls to older men in polygamous marriages.
I still feel like Keith should have spent a lot more time in prison for child abuse
This is very true. Also the judge that sentenced Keith was awesome. Though to be honest, prison is probably better than the situation Heather was in when she was married

Only responsible people who actually care about the child have any rights to say anything in this. Blood does not matter.
Also the last word is always the person's who owns that life(does not matter the age). They know deep inside that they are uncomfortable with this/it is unnatural but children unfortunately sometimes desperately trying to please others(especially adults) around them for approval.
This is why adult should know better and should show a good example instead to further protect them(as what their duty is) instead of trying to use them. It is so disappointing and disgusting. One of the worst kinds of betrayals.
So none of these participatory judges have heard of parental pressure or being too immature to make a huge decision like this? "Is this what you want, girl with two entire families standing right behind you?"

My grandmother was 15 when she married my grandfather, who was 29. They were married for 24 years and had five children before he was killed in an accident. When she had been a widow for 50 years, someone asked her why she had never remarried. Without missing a beat, she replied, 'I got the best on the first try. There was no sense in trying again'. She survived him by 57 years, and is buried next to him.
Ew

Grooming runs deep.
I hope everything goes well with Heather. Thank you for the update, The Infographics Show..!!
Yeah can you imagine helping a couple to switch a flat tire in a undeveloped country and them offering their daughter to you as a bride in payment!? (Honestly I think I would just take her and legally adopt her i always wanted a little sister).
All serious aside I LOVE the cartoons that go along with the stories they make it so much better and I m glad you have them
I just looked it up and where I live you can get married at 17 with parental consent.
But the minimum is 12 for girls and 14 for boys with the approval by a judge.
That made me physically nauseous.
Why is it lower for girls though? To me it should be the other way around.
Where do you live?
đWHEREđDOđYOUđLIVE?!
@@Mii.2.0 I live in Washington state. I haven't been a fan my entire life, but this definitely cemented it.
@@octoberboiy that's exactly what I was wondering. Yeah girls mature faster than boys, but this is unacceptable.
"Keep blaming others and eventually you won't notice your own mistakes that has been building up for a long time".
my grandma got married at 15 and had my uncle when she was 16. however, they both were 15 and 16, and this took place in the late 50s⊠a very different time
@Rin Kagamine yeah, any age difference over 6 years is gross to me.
My classmates always talk about marrying already in a young age" and I always had to tell them to finish school first, They never listen but this video just proven my point
Yep. Finish school. Get a job and do it for a year, then decide if you want to go to college or trade school or just keep working.
My relatives told me I was going to get married while underage. (We are actually white Americans.) The minimum age should be 18, 19, 20, 21, maybe 22, or even 25. I'm an adult now, and I'm sometimes afraid they'll force into into a forced/arranged marriage.
Just don't sign anything and if they force you record yourself stating you don't consent.
Please protect the babies yall my heart was hurting this whole video my blood is boiling!!!!
As someone who was born, raised, and still lives in Idaho, this is both unusual and unsuprising.
I hate it here.
Hello, fellow Idahoan! Don't you just love these insane housing and rental costs now?
Heatherâs mother is the real hero.
This just goes to show how biased Western media can be. Every time when I had heard of child brides it was always about Yemenis. Come on US even my country India had outlawed child marriages despite it being part of thousands of years in our culture.
I have a friend who told me how her in her family they donât let a girl live in her dads house after the age of 18 (they get a girl married before the age of 18 or at the age). Her cousin got married at 15. Itâs disgusting how common it is in my country
Where are you from? It's very common where I live too
which country
@@philoslother4602 Sounds like in the middle east.
@@killertruth186 Nah sounds more like South Asia,Basically they marry them early because of economic reasons.
Iâm from Pakistan
Thankfully I grew up in a Christian community that condemned child marriage.
same
Based christianity community you went to.
I wonder if assuming the majority of the populace, including nearly every Christian including myself, is against child marriage, how did such a practice still remain legal? I only wish to believe the issue was just swept under the rug. It shouldn't be hard to get rid of it outright rn.
Wait, you can get married underage but CAN'T FILE FOR DIVORCE? WHAT TYPE OF LAW IS THAT
As a Registered "Constitution Party" Member, it pains me to say that America has become Hypocritical about MANY THINGS. Our Founders are so Ashamed at This Point.
child marriages were even more common back when the constitution was written
Under old English law which was around when the US was founded, children as young as 12 could get married. Other countries had similar or no laws. Standards were really different back then around the world, but nowadays those standards would be abusive
@@josh_final My grandfather is trying to wrestle the cognitive dissonance in his head that historically Mary from the Bible would have likely been around 13.
Thanks for bringing awareness of this
I got married at 15 with my 27 yrs old neighbor. I really don't know how she manage to convince my parents to go along with it.
Iâve seen a 14 yr old married to a man in his 40âs in America.
Apparently it was legal because they married in an Asian country then moved to the USA...
Donât know if it is still legal.
I Was a Child Bride: The Untold Story is on Hulu. Worth a watch
Thank you for bringing attention to this issue and addressing it with such care and professionalism. Not enough Americans take this seriously
it's a start but they tip toed around the cause and solution to this. ppl that vote Republican are the cause
@@mythicalmining7999 Yeah.
Being 14-15 makes you an adult in an era when most would die before turning 40 or 50?
Not before, after with this video
Sounds like marriage is used as legal protection for the man involved when they abuse a young girl. We should just call it what it is and not allow them to marry to avoid being called a predator.
Agreed also happens in religious conservative communities sigh... So sad đą

Poor Sarah, imagine saving up for your lifelong dream but then your dad takes you to his cult and makes you Almost legally marry someone from that cult and being basically trapped and no hope of seeing your mom or your dreams again, and then once you finally file for a divorce, he plays the long game.
As a child who was groomed myself, I fully agree with the 18 and up policy. It was very difficult as a single mom. I worked menial jobs often two at once while getting a degree. And even after my degree, life still didnât get any better. Only once I married my now husband. Society isnât set up for minors and women. Just rich old white men with land. Thatâs it.
Age 12?! That's sick!
That's how it is
That's how it is
My mom was 15 when she got married, my dad was 21. This was in 1999. All of my grandparents were ok with it. It was a normal thing for my culture back in the day. But now most of the grandkids are young adults 18-23. My parents are happy together, but often fight which is normal
parents that often fight isn't normal in every culture, especially if you look at the rules of engagement, when some fight is it just a discussion, for others it's yelling, insulting, violent, deadly etc. I'll bet you accept way worse treatment from men than women in my culture, I hope I'm wrong though
the amount of people in this comment section who have pedophiles for fathers is genuinely heartbreaking. fighting often is not normal, the occasional argument is normal, but fighting is not.
a victim
Uh....no.
Me living in Idaho where a lot of these cases are- "Mom come pick me up I'm scared"
My mom at age 17 married my 28-year-old father mainly because my grandmother put a lot of pressure on my mother telling her she needs to find a man with money to take care of her (my grandma loves money) plus she fell pregnant with me too so they got married at the courthouse & my mom lived 8 miserable years with my dad out of state & unfortunately he constantly isolated her & was a controlling alcoholic so she took me at age 7 & left back to Virginia on Christmas Eve, they had the divorce finalized two years later so my parents are now another statistic. To be honest I've never once thought of my mom as a child bride before because she grew so fast having to raise me so I viewed her as this super smart adult when I was little & at that time she would've been around the age that I am now in her 20s, but me myself, I could never imagine having to do all of that now like yeah I feel ready to get married at 25 to my 27 y/o fiance but we're in no rush but she obviously encourages me not to be impulsive with a decision like marriage based on her own past experience. Now does this technically mean I'm a product of child marriage? That's really weird to think about yikes.
I had my mouth open in shock for about a minute before clicking this video
A lot of these kids are forced against their will to get married to men much older than them, (mostly young girls), and forced to stay married and do things they don't want to do. Isn't that kidnapping and false imprisonment?
I continue to lose an incredible amount of faith in humanity to the point of being entirely jaded.
Want to combat this atrocity? Teach children that the point of dating is to find a spouse. Teach children that if you don't want to become a parent then don't do the things that'll make you a parent. Teach the truth about the hardships of being a single parent. Educate them in unconditional love and respect. Give them "the reasons why or why not". It works!
Or there are people who date without wanting to marry. Teach them everything there is about contraceptives.
