Why I dislike MLC

[apollinav]

Yes, I'm aware that I'm being a hipocrite.  Thank you.  I've just finished posting Ch 61 of my MLC Fic.

MLC for some girls out there is real.  There's nothing glorious about forced marriage.  A lot of MLCs romanticise them - not to knock any particular author.  MLC is fiction.  This is real life.  Big difference.  I get it.

But this still bothers me.  

And I'm not going to listen to 'cultural sensitivity issues' bullcrap - I don't care that it's a cultural practice.   According to my values, it's morally wrong.

It's not quite true that France was unaware of the problem. One major step taken against this was to raise the legal age of marriage to 18.

I hadn't known that. That's interesting, and somewhat disgusting to think that younger girls were being married off.
