You can't play it both ways. Either you are for it or agin it. How about I just say "I identify as a person who thinks it's just dandy to chase 13 y.o. skirt."
Because I was born here you are going to assert your morality upon me when you say it's okay for others because it's their "culture"? Well, now I'm saying it's MY culture. Do I get a pass?
didn't think so.
There's a huge difference between the guy chasing 14 year old skirt in Germany... And the guy bringing his LEGAL 14 year old wife TO Germany.
If the marriage is legal and was done legally in Syria, Germany has no right to annul the marriage because of their own laws.
I will disagree with that. Honor killings are legal under Sharia law. Does that then shield the killer from German (or U.S.) law?
Fully automatic weapons are permissible in certain countries. May I bring my FA AK here because it was legal in Saudi?
That’s why you change the law. You’re letting your personal feelings interpret past an existing German LAW that says marriage shall be honored if legal in the area it took place in.
Okay... point well taken To make your examples of honor killings and select fire firearms hold water outside of personal feelings those statutes would have to be specifically called out with exemptions in coded law. They aren’t.
The issue here is the German High Court did not interpret a law with bias, they ruled to the letter of the law regardless of personal bias because that’s their job. It doesn’t taste good and probably doesn’t sit well with the Judges either but their job is to be objective and unbiased.
If only our own American High Courts were such.
