@mg3979 The whole point of the episode was to raise public awareness that child marriage is legal in some parts of America, with the intent of inspiring people to become activists against it.
@mg3979 There are a handful of states where child marriage is legal. And "accept" is not the same as "like" or "support"...the doctors simply realized that there was nothing they could legally do to protect the child/prosecute the families, which they felt disgusted by.
@RevCaitlyn False. They stated there were no laws against it which is FALSE then they said they had to accept it because the family supported it. If you agree with that you are 100% on the wrong side.

"If Russia gets away with this invasion, free from condemnation and able to hang onto the territory it has seized, what does this mean for democracy in Africa, the principle of sovereignty, the sanctity of borders, human rights and freedoms?"
