If that's the case then the husband was the appropriate person to make the decision despite what the parents thought. By rite of marriage the daughter no longer belonged to the family but to the husband.

I own my wife? She's gonna be pissed...

I never want to be "owned," isn't that a law from way back in the day when daughters were property? wtf.

I've owned you so many times. For real.

It should if thats what the family and her believed in. In fact, this is an area that the government should stay out of primarily because it involves religious belief.

"Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband" (Ephesians 5:21-33).

Then they should realize that God does not like shelfishness which is what this is in the end. Just because you see a smile when you enter the room dosnt mean that theres progress. its just like people who see pictures of satan in a turtle's shell, or similar its just your opinion. Just because you can afford to keep her there forever shouldn't prompt you to try.

If he were 12 and running from the pastor, I wouldn't ticket him.

Of course the legal system has to step in if there is any doubt as to who has the right to determine her care.
