We Shouldnt Speak Up When We See Something Wrong - odg_knz

A shocking video shared on X showed an adult man marrying a child, triggering intense public backlash. While many users condemned the act, one comment attempted to silence concern by saying “As long as they are not complaining why should we.” This statement is deeply troubling.

Children cannot give informed consent. Their silence is not approval; it is often the result of fear, coercion, or lifelong conditioning. Asking society to “keep quiet” while a child is being married to an adult is an endorsement of abuse. Public outrage is not interference—it is a moral responsibility. Protecting children requires speaking up, challenging harmful norms, and rejecting any ideology that excuses exploitation under the cover of silence or misplaced tolerance.
