I've just finished watching the last episode of VH1's Couple's Therapy, Courtney Stodden said that she "Sometimes forgets that she is married". I will NEVER understand why some parents allow their minor children to be in adult relationships. At 16 years old, Courtney's parents allowed her to marry, 51 year old, Doug Hutchison. Now let's do the math 51-16=35, right? What do they have in common? Doug was 35 when she was born.
Hello??? I know I can't be the only one in the world that knows (not thinks) that something is wrong with this. Some would say , "It's no ones business." but true enough it is. It's like giving him permission to be a child molester, as some of the cast members said.
Sources connected to the show told TMZ that Stodden and Hutchison have acknowledged that there are "obvious problems in their relationship because of their age difference and the notoriety they've gotten because of their relationship."
Remember, Robert Kelly & Aaliyah (RIP) marriage...
on August 31, 1994. Aaliyah was 15 years old and Kelly was 27. Now, let's do he math again, 27-15= 12. So, he was in Middle School when she was born. What do they have in common at that age, nothing. Source said he married her because she was pregnant with his child. Vibe magazine published the marriage license which showed that Aaliyah has listed her age as 18 on the marriage license making it invalid by law and paving the way an annulment. Now, what 15 year old is aware that if she lies about her age,so they can get married without parental consent. Hmm, I'll wait...
Then, in 2002, a sex tape of R.Kelly former protégé Sparkles 14 year old niece, popped up in every urban neighborhood and flooded the internet. People were outraged at the acts that took place, especially when he urinated on the 14 year old. Later in June 2002, Kelly was indicted in Chicago for 21 counts of having sex with a minor, which were later reduced to soliciting a minor for child pornography, seven counts of videotaping the acts, and seven counts of producing child pornography. These charges came after viewing the tapes showed that there was no actual sexual intercourse involved.
You can google the story for more information. I think there should be some laws in place to protect children when their parents will not.
