This one is just to give you a reason to bang your against the wall.
I've seen people oppressed, but never a self-oppression by a whole country.
'...And it explained that a child bride would be treated as a lone youngster who did not have their parent or guardian...'
Well technically, the child would be married to their 'guardian'
To see child-molestation semi-condoned in this way should be a heads-up to the masses in the EU of
what is to come in the near future. This type of cultural anomaly should be scoured out -regardless the
skin colour of those who do it.
By the way, a nice little pamphlet on raping boys in the Public Swimming Baths could be printed instead.
Just sayin'.

Quote:Outrage over official brochure with Child Marriage tips for migrants.The Express:
'Sweden has withdrawn a leaflet giving immigrants who are married to children “tips and advice”
on how to settle in the country has been withdrawn following a public outcry.
A brochure called “Information for those married to a child” caused a storm over its “unacceptably” soft tone.
It included an explanation that marrying an under-18 is forbidden in the country and continuing to live with
them was “inappropriate”.
And it explained that a child bride would be treated as a lone youngster who did not have their parent or guardian.
One line read: "Since children under the age of 15 have an absolute right to protection from sexual acts it is
improper for you to live together if the child is under 15.”
Tobias Billström, leader of the Moderates, blasted the leaflet.
He said: "The biggest failing is that the word ‘prison’ isn’t present, but rather it gives a bit of advice and tips
on how to respond if you have a relationship our marriage laws forbid.”
And Liberal leader Jan Björklund tweeted: "Facepalm. Unacceptably flat.
The brochure has to be withdrawn without delay.
“Child marriage should be completely forbidden.”
Even Sweden’s Minister for Children, the Elderly and Gender Equality, Lena Hallengren, said she had misgivings
about the leaflet. She said: "There should never be any doubt over which laws and values apply in Sweden.
“It is not permitted to enter into child marriage. That cannot be compromised and that, and the information on it
must be crystal clear.” Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) has now removed the
literature from its website and said it will think again.
Petra Rinman from the board said: "The material has provoked strong reactions and many comments.
“We have withdrawn the material and will revise it.”
Socialstyrelsen’s head of legal, Pär Ödman, added: "Sweden does not permit those who are under 18 to enter
into marriage in the country.
“According to current legislation however the general rule is that marriage which is legal according to the law
of the country in which it was carried out should be recognised in Sweden.
“New legislation is currently being prepared by the government.”...'
