Tulsa mom pleads guilty to allowing 12-year-old daughter to get pregnant by grown man - Lemmy.world

It was one of the most bizarre sex crimes in recent Tulsa history. Now it’s over, and both adults involved are headed to prison. The 12-year-old girl showed up a Hillcrest Hospital in midtown Tulsa in July 2021 in labor. The father-to-be apparently expected to walk out with the girl and their new bundle of joy. “They walked in just like any other couple would, excited to deliver their newborn child,” Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean told FOX23 News in 2021. When the child, well below the age of consent, showed up to give birth, doctors immediately called Tulsa Police to report what was happening.

No one would have been in trouble if they were married. In Oklahoma, there are no age restrictions for marriage. An adult can marry a toddler if they want. Child marriage is a long-standing conservative tradition, unfortunately.

Would being married actually nullify age of consent laws though?

Genuinely asking.

Yes. If they were married, the sex would be legal.

Rape is OK too. The bible does not actually condemn rape, especially of a spouse.

Condem it? It has rules for rape.
Bible Gateway passage: Deuteronomy 21:10-14 - New International Version

Marrying a Captive Woman - When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.

Exactly. The bible effectively endorses rape.
