Some people carry risky genes from their parents or grandparents - should they also not be allowed to have children because of these risks? I mean, at the end of the day statistics might say that people over 40 carry greater risks, but that doesn't mean at all that anyone who has children can't have complications during or after the pregnancy. It's always a risk and always a gamble when you have children. Just because they may statistically have greater risks at getting pregnant than if he'd been ten years younger doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to have children if they want.

- But more a higher percentage of children are born with abnormalities. So I am basing my arguments on facts.
So you've never heard of it, but IF you had, you're assuming that it wouldn't have worked out? I'm sorry, but... how can you decide that? Especially since you're not basing it on anything.

- For the record, Ive never even heard of such a thing as a 16 year old marrying a 51 year old, and if I did, it didnt work out for them. And again, its not about knowing them personally, its about age difference. At 16 you havent even experienced life yet, at 51, hes old enough to be her father/grandfather.
I'm not saying the age difference isn't something that could be an issue, I'm saying you or anyone else except for her parents have a right to decide for her. And no one, not even her parents, have the right to decide what she does or doesn't feel.
