I'm sorry, but people have been making excuses for selling their daughters into sexual slavery throughout history, and all of them make the same excuses, but it does not change the fact that they did it because they simply do not value their daughters properly. How do I know? Note that they always consign their daughters to this before their sons or themselves. Note that their entire society normalizes it. Note that even Western outlets covering this find the fathers' "impossible choices" sympathetic and more worthy of coverage than what his daughter must think, being raped on a daily basis and knowing that her very own flesh and blood are responsible for dooming her to that fate. Note that the news stories do not ask why it is fathers making this decision, and not the mothers. From ancient China to modern Afghanistan, feeding yourself off the underage sexual exploitation of your own daughters is morally reprehensible, and I would simply rather die myself than ever consign any child to such suffering. The fact that these fathers do not feel the same when it comes to their own daughters is proof of their monstrosity, and the moral depravity of the BBC for asking us to identify with them rather than their daughters.

A Splendid fairywren got caught out in a rain shower. Found across Australia, male splendid fairywrens are known for their bright electric-blue breeding feathers, while females remain mostly brown. Despite their tiny size, they are fast, highly active birds that spend much of the day searching for insects. Photo credit: Vikrant Deshpande

"grandmas was cooking 2-3 meals a day for multiple ppl, cleaning the house, and washing clothes what happen to these type of woman?" These same women took their granddaughters aside and WARNED THEM "get a good job, and don't let any man tell you a DAMN thing."

I was born in the right generation because I love seeing women celebrate their independence and liberation from men, have full autonomy over their bodies and affairs, are allowed to vote, travel the world, divorce, open a bank account, start a business without a man. Love it fr!

Starting to believe the whole "biological clock" thing was just a mass marketing scheme to get girls to settle down with undeserving shmucks before they matured enough to develop into women that knew better.
