This deserves a proper WTF? A 51 year old actor (he was the retarded guard on the Green Mile) married a 16 year old, Here's the video

Legally, this marriage is OK, since her parents gave their written consent. Morally, I find this a little off. My personal opinion is He married her for her large... well you know, and she married him for his money and to start her career as a singer and an actress.

So here's my question to you, do you think this marriage is morally ok, or is it immoral? and why? Speak, monkeys!

Let people live, if stuff goes down, stuff goes down. Love's a crazy thing, so let them live and be miserable like the rest of us. Who are we to stand in their way?

Whether is it 'morally' acceptable or not does not matter. Because we have no right to invade their privacy and tell them what they can and cannot do. Yes, it is likely true that the female is using the male to get a foothold into the company, and flaunting her body to do so, which I despise. However, it is her decision to use her body in such a manner that suits her. Would I marry, or even date such a women, no way in hell. But that doesn't mean we can bombard the female with media presence.
And yes it is also likely that the male married her in order to get at her body, but AOC is 17 in most states here in the USA, so he will have to wait, or be taken to court by the DA.

And yes it is likely they they will divorce once the female feels she has achieved a great enough advancement on behalf oh the older male's fame and fortune, but this still doesn't give us the right to judge her or their relationship because it has no effect on us or anyone we are close to.

I think there should be a law on people can only marry people who are under 10 years apart.

That is really creepy

Well, at least it's not a 20-year-old marrying a 84-ish year-old, in the case of Hugh Hefner.

But, of course, it's their decision. *sighs*

They're probably doing it just so the media picks up on it. He'd've faded out completely without something obscure like this.

I don't think media attention has anything to do with it since an investigated into the marriage would occur due to her age and if her parents changed their mind, he would of been arrested.

Love is love, let them be happy.

Starting at 4:38 in the video what is going on??? Look at how shes looking at him, and what are they talking about? Also they said her parents got death threats??? Can someone explain the reasoning behind that?

10 years isn't that much, my parents are 14 years apart.

And yes it is also likely that the male married her in order to get at her body, but AOC is 17 in most states here in the USA, so he will have to wait, or be taken to court by the DA.

Bye the way she is looking at him I think they are into it already. I mean are whos to know what they are doing behind closed doors? People spying them?


And as far as this goes, its nothing new, the guy wants a sexy young body, and the girl wants money.

Well, if they want to make a trade-off like that, then let them. It's not like this is a new thing. It mutually benefits the two of them, they both consented(the daughter got the consent of her parents), and as long as there isn't any **** or actual abuse, then I really don't see a problem with it. It's none of our business who people choose to marry or for what reason, and it's not for us to interfere with or judge. As long as they are not being forced into it, or clearly being deceived(like a ten year old and a forty year old), then frankly, let them. If people are attracted to others who are younger or older than they are, or if they want to marry them for some other reason, then as long as there is no actual abuse happening, as long as it is consensual, then we have no right to butt in or interfere. Thank you and good night.

Just because it bothers some of us doesn't make it wrong for them. Let them be happy, however they choose to be.
You know what they say: to each his own. Or...diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks. Yup. I totally just said that.

My parents are 12 years apart and I know alot of people that are more. And there should not be any laws that say againest that. You my friend are the wrong one. In this case, hey. Who cares!

I think that love can happen between anyone... and you can love again after you lose it. That being said... their marriage isn't immoral. I just think it's kind of dumb. Unless he dies of something other than natural causes a lot sooner than he would've via natural causes, she'll most likely be a lively middle aged woman and babysitting a senile old man at the same time.... that is... if she loves him enough to take care of him in his old age.

I know a 22 year old marrying a guy who is 47ish... and she wouldn't date anyone even a second younger than herself b/c it "would be weird"... I don't even act like I understand... let them have their fun. If she regrets it later then that's her problem... maybe she won't.
