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!

I heard about a girl, 22 years old, who married a [rich] man who were 71.

A good choice for both of them.

I'm shocked by what I read here. In France, this is call pedophilia. Where is the child welfare !? I don't say there is no love between them but she's only 16 !
Furthermore, get married is not a detail in a life. Some of you have said she get married with him for his money. So she's like a prostitute ? Prositution is now allowed ?

Ok so justice has made a BIG fail...

How the Hell parents can let that happen ?!

Mad World ._.

I do not see anything wrong with this if they are in love.

Here, the age of 16 is the age of consent... as far as I know. At that age, a person can opt to get married if his/her parents allow it. It isn't really prostitution if you are married to the person.

You're making the assumption on people you don't know though, they could be very much in love.
Stuff like this happens all the time, it's just getting attention because he's famous.
Sometimes you can't help who you call for, age is just a number (within reason) when it comes to love.

wtf is what I'm gonna say to. They came to the reporter to diminish the Ick Factor but its still there.
From the girl, I can probably see that they r gonna divorce soon and get a boat load of money and child support if they ever go that far. Usually teenagers are interested in well, YOUNGER men like 18-25 yr. olds or whatever so there has to be catch. I mean if its TRUE love then I'm gonna need some convincing or something.
P.S. I bet her parents did it to get her out of the house.
and sorry I'm being judgemental I'm just also being skeptical of the situation.

But on the other hand, I sort of agree with Jeffreysinspiration. But not completely.

Fair enough be skeptical, but how can you make assumptions with absolutely no basis? You don't know the man or woman, therefore you can't know their circumstance/situation or their feelings for eachother.
