sadly its not

"As a 15-year old Syrian refugee, Fatima has been granted all the comforts that Germany offers to those fleeing her war-torn homeland.

Living in a secluded shelter near the western town of Bielefeld, she can look to the state for all her basic needs: accommodation, food and security.

Such support is all the more needed because Fatima is pregnant by her 34-year-old husband, a fellow Syrian refugee who was put up in the same town so they could continue to see each other."

1) This is about Germany
2) Nowhere does it say that Sweden has 'legalised child marriage"

Here is the Swedish news source which the story is based


http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel...rtikel=6096214

opening para states:

A marriage between a 14-year-old girl and a 21-year-old man was approved last year by Swedish authorities. Ekot can reveal today. The case has brought strong feelings, but is just one of several examples in recent years of childhood marriage recognized in Sweden.

1) That doesn't mean it's not true, it means you're Googling in the wrong place.
2) The fact that it's happening in Germany too should have you worried not crying "fake news".

Thanks. Hard to know which news sources are dodgy when they're from a country where I don't speak the language! However, just looking at the site, and doing a bit of research, I was able to easily confirm they are not a good source for legitimate news.

It just makes me realize how confusing fake news is to people from somewhere else. As I'm an American, I can easily spot it in American news, but it's so hard when it's somewhere else.

And even if it was real news, seriously, a fourteen year old woman is pregnant with her husband of two years. Yes, it's nuts that she married that early, but if she's happy, then seriously, she's got a child on the way, she's better off married.

Of course, in some parts of America, girls used to get married off at 13 not so long ago. And religious nuttiness is not just a Muslim phenomenon. Christians have been just as bad, if not worse.
