Wedding of an 11 year old girl and a 15 year old boy.This story took place in a Georgian village, an Azerbaijani family, where an 11-year-old girl was married to a 15-year-old boy.This shocked Azerbaijani social networks and, thanks to a barrage of criticism, caused a reaction from the authorities also because it is not normal in Georgia and Azerbaijan, where by law you must be at least 18 years old to be able to marry.Azerbaijani ombudman Sabina Aliyeva.Azerbaijani Ombudsman Sabina Aliyeva made a statement:The Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) of the Republic of Azerbaijan Sabina Aliyeva has officially appealed to the People's Defender of Georgia Nino Lomcaria on the basis of information spread on a number of websites about the engagement ceremony of two minors in the Georgian village of Ponichala (Soganli).In this appeal, the Ombudsman, taking into account the seriousness and delicacy of the issue, asked the Georgian authorities to immediately investigate this fact and take appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the rights of these minors.As of this writing, the Georgian authorities have not responded in any way, but if you think you have read the worst in this story, you are wrong. So what could be worse? Yes, few people justify this, but it's disgusting that there are such people at all.Edit: The Georgian authorities reacted to this news.In Ponichala, the Ministry of Internal Affairs launched an investigation into the appointment of an 11-year-old girlYou can argue and say: how can people who justify this be worse than those who do it? You are right, but they are disgusting at the same level.Azerbaijani rapper Uran also reacted to the news by saying:Azərbaycanlı olmaq "pedofil" olmaq deyil. Nə 11 yaş, nə də 14 yaş nişanlanma yaşı deyil. "Əvvəllər olub", "namuslu qız azyaşlı olar", "bakirəlik alına yazılmalı" kimi absurd səbəblər gətirənlərə sözüm - təcili psixiatrın otağına!— URAN 🇦🇿 (@Uranrap) February 9, 2021Translation: Being an Azerbaijani does not mean being a "pedophile". Neither 11 nor 14 is not the engagement age. Those who make such absurd arguments as "it was before", "an honest girl will be underage", "virginity must be registered" - to the ward of an emergency psychiatrist!He's right these people need to go to a mental hospital.

After an uncomfortable stay in a psychiatric hospital, I read my discharge summary. Instead of being only factual, it contained judgmental opinion. It also contained a diagnosis of benzodiazepine abuse! There were many other errors as well.I was shocked. I had never seen such a discharge summary, and I have never abused my medications, taking them only as prescribed. In fact, during that stay, I had been prescribed them, but had taken none and also had a negative urine test!I spoke to both my general practitioner and psychiatrist about the document, and they were not happy at all. My GP said it was if she wasn't even reading about her patient.I wrote a letter to the psychiatrist in charge of the summary, outlining my reasoning, and he refused to change anything.I wrote two letters to the ombudsman for the hospital sector, and he suggested I write an opinion to be included with my files. That was insufficient, because generally patients are not believed over doctors.Then, my psychiatrist wrote a long letter detailing why he was not in agreement with the summary, and he requested a round table with the psychiatrist and his boss and the ombudsman.The ombudsman arranged the meeting.Before the meeting, I was contacted by the ombudsman, who told me that the director of the hospital had called him to tell him that all errors I had noticed would be fixed, and a new summary written. We would still have the round table discussion to determine what my stays would look like in the future, to prevent any more problems.I went to the meeting, and the psychiatrist’s boss, another psychiatrist who had treated me in the past, was there. He apologized multiple times, and we made arrangements for me not to have to see the erring psychiatrist during future stays.By the way, this good psychiatrist is Dr. med. Thomas Reisch, and he has some great published papers on understanding suicide, borderline personality disorder, and other mental health issues. Google Scholar

We were engaged in a lengthy dispute with our insurer regarding structural damage to our home. Our concrete floor was buckled after flooding. I can’t remember the exact figures, but I think it was allowable - under the Australian Standard - for a concrete floor to be distorted by a maximum of 15 mm vertical over a certain horizontal distance (perhaps 1.5 metres? 1 in 100?) and still be considered acceptable in terms of performance. In one location, we had around 105mm vertical displacement, seven times the maximum allowable displacement.Our insurer described this to the Ombudsman (aribtrator) as “the floor exceeds the performance specifications of the Australian Standard” - note the use of the word “exceeds” - and went on to conclude that they shouldn’t have to pay to repair it.The Ombudsman rang me and said that that seemed reasonable, if it “exceeded” the performance specification of the Australian Standard, then why should the insurer pay to repair it?Many people might have been fooled by that, as the Ombudsman almost was, too.I said to the Ombudsman: “You know that the performance specification is a tolerance, that outlines a maximum, and they’re saying that the floor is actually much worse, and thus significantly fails the performance test, don’t you?”The Ombudsman said: “They couldn’t possibly mean that; they go on to argue that they shouldn’t have to pay for repairs!”I said: “It’s definitely a tolerance. Go on. Phone the insurer back and ask them to confirm whether it’s a minimum or maximum performance standard.”The Ombudsman was back on the phone in minutes, aghast at their gall.That little demonstration of bad faith by the insurer was the moment it was all over for them.We won, our home was demolished and we built a new home.
