Besides the beets, I mean.

I'm used to relish or pickles, or something. 🤔 Especially with cheese.

Countries that welcome foreign investment should take this into account. It's difficult to complain about this, after you're in debt to the country the traffickers are from.

I'm tired. Had a nap. Still tired. 😁

>>At the same time, there is now the impression that marrying a Chinese man means a wealthy life, Wuttimanop says. “Women have this perception from seeing Chinese men who come to work in their country. Some of them are business owners,” she says.

“Their families then allow these women to be married without seeing the Chinese man in person, spending time with each other and even without any preparation.”<<

Nobody is praying that at these blessings. They do them here. They're just pseudo weddings.

No bride stealing allowed.

Abductor shall be stripped of any clerical rank and excommunicated and he has to pay her monetary damages.

Only after all of that is decided and she is no longer under his control, may she marry him, if she wants.

Disingenuous, to pretend it's a friendship blessing. Everyone knows what is intended.

This one was spread within China and censored by the government.

No, but it's a prerequisite.

You mean Xiaohuamei?

Yes, extreme case with 8 children, but the fact that it's still not clarified shows how complex the problem is.

So many men now have stolen wives and their children and relatives don't want them punished, so there's a lot of resistance. If you love your father, you're not going to want the state to arrest him. And if she already has 8 kids with him, does she want him arrested?

>>Canon 1089 No marriage can exist between a man and a woman who has been abducted, or at least detained, with a view to contracting a marriage with her, unless the woman, after she has been separated from her abductor and established in a safe and free place, chooses marriage of her own accord.<<

If they elect Trump as speaker of the House, then he is immune from prosecution, right?

He's the Angela Merkel of the Catholic Church: jump on any idea that swims by, to stay relevant.

Doddering old fool.

Too expensive. Waiting for €10k. 😏
