2. Young Girls Are Forced To Marry Older Men
The above photo is Warren Jeff’s father, 85, with one of his young wives who was only 19 when they married.
As previously mentioned, the leader of the polygamist cult is a convicted child rapist. This comes as no surprise then, that the entire community is full of pedophiles. Since polygamists believe that a woman’s purpose is to bear children, they think that as soon as these girls hit puberty they should find their husbands and start popping out babies. If you’ve taken a basic health class, you know that most girls hit puberty around the age of 12. However, some can reach puberty at the young age of 9.
Pedophilia is illegal, and the members of the FLDS know this, so they’re careful about how they go about their relationships. But that doesn’t stop men who are 30, 40, 50 or older from attempting to begin dating girls as young as 12. They often have dances where all the young girls go to meet older men looking for a new wife. The sickest part is that the parents allow this to happen. They’re all brainwashed enough to believe that this is an acceptable way of life and how normal things operate. It’s even grosser to imagine a 50-year-old man with four wives already interested in an 18-year-old girl!
