Are the converts part of the Israel haters Neturei Karta? If not then why mention this in the last paragraph. Also a 21 year old woman is matched with a 16 year old boy.. Very strange!

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT BAD PRESS ON THE 'HAREDIM'?

To match a woman aged 21 to a boy of 16 . She's already adult , he's still a child .

First mazal tov to the 2 couples, it's wonderful! Second, the last paragraph has no connection, but why let in an article of good news for the Jews without besmirching? You are pathetic, YNET, do you really think that your readers are idiots? Third thing, Neturei Karta is a sect unrecognized by the orthodox world. They represent nobody except being trotted as religious buggy men for the secular.

Well, there is that lovely folksong - "He's Young, but he's steadily Growing" about a 24 year old woman matched with a 14 year old. It's on one of Joan Baez's early albums. And it's still better than some of the marriages made in other countries between 9 year old girls and men 5,6, or 7 times their age.

Yes , and it's still better to loose ONE eye instead of two .

And shame on YNet for the gratuitous insult included in the completely unrelated final paragraph.

She is 21 he is 16 ? In normal coutries i think they would class that as child abuse. How can anyone of the age of 16 make such a descision? Oh well one more for the social security to take care off, one more draft dodger !

That is why they have to find a 16 yr old idiot to marry one of their kids. They are in herem (excommunication) in many places. Also, I am disturbed by conversion story. Did they all convert to join NK? Or just become Litvak leeches? If they want to be real frum Jews, kol hakavod. if they are being sucked into the cult, very sad.

love of your people. Is France considered a normal country?

when you "google" it you will see that in Israel the minimum age for a man is 18 , as in most developped countries . Yaron , for this subject France is certainly a NORMAL country [ and for all other subjects too ! ] At least they have a separation of State and church . Their clergy is NOT paid by the State .

...and I'm not talking about the 16-year-old boy getting married to the 21-year-old girl (that's a bit unusual, but nonetheless accepted by that community). I always thought that the Rabbis wouldn't do two weddings together---ain m'arbim simcha b'simcha----especially for close family members. Is it possible that something is missing from the story?
