[quote=Anonymous]Wiw, this is a long thread. i feel sorry that this happened to the OPs daughter. I had a somewhat similar experience and wanted to share how I dealt with it. im indian american, snd my daughter is mixed. a friend in her k class asked her why girls in india get married at 5 years old, or something like that. she said her mother told her that. my daughter felt embarrased and asked me whether it's true. i told her, unfortunately, child marriage haplens in many countries including India, and it is absolutely wrong and against our family's values and human rights.m, and that sometimes people who do not know our culture may make wrong assumptions, and it's best to try and educate them.i told her to let her friend know that what her mom said is not incorrect, that child marriage happens in india and elsewhere, and that they should raise awareness and money to stand up for girls everywhere... well, they didnt do that, but they are good friends now. the mom seems wary around me, but Ive been friendly.[/quote]
