Which is more immoral?

[Bono]

Option one is the only immoral one of these choices. That, and it should be illegal. Number two is perfectly acceptable.

Is there any reason it should be illegal, except "I don't like it and I'm a control freak?"

i dont think you should be able to stop anyone from getting married if they love eachother. noone has to live with any consequences but them.

Even if they don't love each other. What do you care?

Yes, it's anti-equality. Marriage is about the equality of two partners, such things cannot happen with a gross age discrepancy as the one suggested.

So the reson is: I don't like it.
As for marriage being about the equality f two partners, you just made that up.

I disagree. You dont turn 18 and stop gaining maturity. Maturity is something that increases as you get older, no matter how old you are, but because the rate slows down as you get older, a percentage is needed.

He never said you didn't stop gaining maturity, only that at 18 you are 'mature enough' to decide who you want to marry.

I disagree. Not if you're picking someone who is 80 years old.

Are you mature enough to decide to have sexual relations with someone who is 80 years old?

As far as I see it, lots of people aren't particularly mature at eighteen, but that doesn't mean we deny them their rights because we don't think they are suitably mature for an eighteen year old. Why should we stop someone who is mature and say nineteen from marrying an eighty year old when two people who are immature and eighteen are perfectly allowed to marry each other?

An 18 year old is mature enough to marry another 18 year old, not an 80 year old.

How do you know?

Don't bother. He'll just keep saying it.
