I'm not in favor of molesting 13-year-old girls either but what's done it's done. You can't go back in time. The girl's knocked up.
Other than getting married she could either have an abortion, give the child up for adoption, or have the child out of wedlock. The parents made a decision that doesn't involve killing the child, nor giving him/her away, nor having to him/her grow up without his/her father. Who's to say this isn't what works in their world? Who's to say whether this isn't what they think it's best for their daughter? I'd rather let individuals make mistakes than give the government the power to decide how a family should make decisions.
