"Colombia’s congress has voted to change a law that allowed minors to get married with parental consent.

The proposal would make the minimum age for marriage 18, and seeks to protect the rights and development opportunities for minors. It still must be signed into law by President Gustavo Petro.

Currently, the country’s civil code allows person as young as 14 years old to get married with parental consent.

The initial proposal to reform the law – presented in 2023 – used the slogan “they’re girls, not wives” and aimed to prevent young girls from being forced to marry, to be subject to different forms of violence and to miss out on education and development opportunities.

“Minors are not sexual objects, they’re girls,” congresswoman Clara López Obregón said in a statement after the proposal was greenlit.

Child marriage remains a widespread practice worldwide and affects around 12 million girls per year, according to the UN’s agency for children, UNICEF.

But there’s been a global drop in child marriages over the past few years, according to the agency’s statistics. “Ten years ago, one in four young women aged 20 to 24 was married as a child. Today that number has fallen to one in five,” UNICEF said.

In Latin America, poverty is the main factor leading to minors getting married, according to UNICEF."

Wait.

-squints-

Agatha and Rio are calling a truce. For a brief period of time. For. While on the Road.

-squints again-

Wait.

I just did that.

With Kyoko and Junko I literally JUST DID THAT in OAEI.

....

This is as bad as Skylar and Belle bringing up Agatha's back scars and me just not thinking about it. (And Belle bringing up Surrogate!)

I'm SO bad at this. XD

This was supposed to be a silly fic! Where did this come from?!

“I love you both.” The silence was back, though this time, it was because nothing more had to be said- they loved each other, loved the others more than anything, and they had forgotten that, had forgotten what their love was, and what it meant for them.  They had allowed themselves to fall into a routine, into a routine that had destroyed them, and made them forget their love, but they remembered, remembered their love, remembered who the others really were, and it was a weight off of their shoulders, a weight they didn’t even know was there.

/Alas, I am once again...sick T^T

I am still around, and will eventually get around to poking at drafts once I feel a little better (it does not, thankfully, appear to be a severe cold but uh...yeah). Still around for bullshit and banter and whatever. Discord available to mutuals if you want it, just DM me for it. Other than that...Nate and Eli are on the brain atm, so we'll see what happens there

Me, while starting this chapter a few days ago; man, I'm not sure this is actually going to be long enough for a chapter... I mean I might want to split it into a sidestory thing anyway, I don't like how chapter 6 to 7 to 8 would flow with this as chapter 7, but even then...

Me, now, checking my wordcount for the funsies; how the fuck did this hit 2.7k.

Sometimes the words just word, I guess.

Also I have a particular favourite line from this maybe-chapter now. It's probably one of my favourites in the fic. Which'll make it a bit disappointing if I shunt it to sidestory, but also like. My narrative flow?
