Bangladesh, you're right. I hadn't finished my coffee -- actually, I wouldn't mind another cup. Well, it seems as if they get married even earlier in Bangladesh, 50% of women are married by age 13-15, 80% under 16.

So the young woman in question is plenty old enough to get married in Bangladesh, and has family there that can arrange it according to Sharia law.

I have a very hard time comprehending people who want to change America to be like that. I mean, if you never lived in America, that's one thing, but here she was, living in America. What was she thinking?
