You too could marry a 10-year-old in America http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/200000-children-married-us-15-years-child-marriage-child-brides-new-jersey-chris-christie-a7830266.html

I saw a documentary maybe a decade or more ago, wherein an elderly American guy married the pony he had been fucking for a few years, so nothing surprises me. There was also an American woman featured, who quite straightforwardly explained how her German Shepherd dog had a certain look in its eye when it "wanted" sex with her

On the other hand an Australian court has held that sexuality is a fluid concept that can change over time https://www.smh.com.au/national/judge-slams-illogical-decision-that-homosexuality-is-fixed-at-birth-20180305-p4z2w3.html

For me the most interesting point is that no-one was prepared to challenge the husband's original claim that he was a homosexual in danger of persecution. Too great a fear of being seen homophobic is my guess
