Title: Girl Rescued by Lions Post by: den68 on June 22, 2005, 10:47:49 AM http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8305836/?GT1=6657
Quote Kidnapping young girls has long been part of the marriage custom in Ethiopia. what the hell? Title: Re: Girl Rescued by Lions Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 22, 2005, 11:03:07 AM That whole article is totally bizarre. I guess it's good that the girl came out okay, but if 70% of Ethiopian marriages are forced like that, sooner or later somebody else will just get her. Rather depressing.

Glad the girl made it out somewhat OK but that sure is one f'ed up marriage system over there. Title: Re: Girl Rescued by Lions Post by: Tynstar on June 22, 2005, 11:52:02 AM Thats really cool about the lions. And really f'ed up about the marriage system.

That's what really explains all of this: the lions watched the movie and then realized it was their true calling in life to protect girls who didn't want to be married. I'm so glad I'm not ethiopian. |
