Thea (12) is Norway’s first child bride. The young girl will walk down the aisle on Saturday October 11, to meet her 37 years old husband to be. Being Norway’s first official child wedding, the event has sparked an outcry of reactions from the public.

“Hey! My name is Thea and I’m 12 years old. I am getting married in one month!”.

Why does everything always have to be about race? Regardless of a white, black, Hispanic, Indian child it's still a child. Get over color!!

That's easy to say : get over color, but it's more about : get over the difference...saddly, people don't like and don't tolerate difference

Whether the blog is fake or not is irrelevant. The whole issue is real and prevalent, and has to be stopped.

Shitttt i am 57, a retired combat vet, an airborne recon ranger with two wars under my belt, and this shocked the s**t out of me. As a father of two girls, a brother to a female airforce captain, and as a son; this s**t is scary.
