Wanna hear a true American horror story? (Besides the primaries?)
A group of ultra-conservative Christian men are planning to meet up in Kansas later this year to arrange marriages for their pubescent daughters and they dont believe their daughters consent is actually necessary.
Quiverfull patriarch, Vaughn Ohlman, who runs a website promoting early, fruitful marriage for Truly True Christian children, has announced plans for a Get Them Married! retreat where fundamentalist fathers will find, and TAKE, suitably submissive young brides to bear many babies for their adolescent sons.
The weekend retreat, which will be held in Wichita this coming November, is designed to bring together like-minded families (and their unmarried young men and women) who are committed to young, fruitful marriage and to help them overcome the barriers which have kept their children unmarried.
