2pints-mate 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The thought just sounds creepy. But, should there be a law denying people from getting married who have an age difference of, say, 26 years? Quote: The Egyptian authorities have banned a 92-year-old man from marrying a 17-year-old girl, the Egyptian al-Akhbar newspaper has reported. The ministry of justice invoked a law which says the age gap between spouses should not exceed 25 years. Egypt brought in the law prohibiting the marriage of elderly men to very young girls during the Gulf oil boom. It was an effort to prevent wealthy men from the Gulf states seeking young poor brides from the Egyptian countryside. Not much is known about the 92-year-old man who tried to marry an Egyptian girl of 17 except that he is an Arab from the Gulf. An Egyptian justice official said by refusing to endorse their marriage it would now be impossible for the girl to travel abroad with her husband. However, in special cases, the justice ministry does allow foreign men to marry Egyptian women more than 25 years their junior if they deposit a very large sum of money in the name of their wife at the Egyptian National Bank. Both husband and wife also have to report in person to the ministry which checks their marriage is genuine to prevent any kind of trafficking in women. According to the al-Akhbar newspaper, 173 such marriages were allowed in the past year after the foreign husband deposited a sum equivalent to about US $80,000 and was screened.

JA2340 16 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 It is my long held hope that I will be placed on trial for rape (or at least indecent assault) at 90. - I should be so lucky to live that long! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 No...sorry...don't get it. At 20 men from maybe 17-25 were attractive to me....at 30, maybe 20-40yr old.....at almost 40 I am afraid anything under 30 looks like jailbait (or a bit like my child) and anything over 50 looks like my Dad. I thought that was how it was supposed to be. I think this kind of age gap is quite disturbing. And even though I know you are only joking JA I would think that aspiration is quite twisted also. To be bonking your brains out with another consenting adult at 92 I can totally understand...but rape...soz Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that was how it was supposed to be. men and women have differing perspectives on mating strategies, so look for different things in a potential mate. Kinda creepy it may be, BUT if he can still rise to the occassion (and she is not being forced, of course) then "GAME ON!!" Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 nah man, a wrinkled old sod boffing a piece the age of his great grand daughter would be very creepy. JA, better to stick with the roos man. Link to post Share on other sites
journey_man 0 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Maybe she's figuring on doing the hard yards for a few years then getting a rather large bonus at say 23. Not bad to be set up for life at that age... Originally Posted By: thursday JA, better to stick with the roos man. Now I have this image stuck in my head of JA bouncing around the outback trying to stay in step. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
