Privacy advocates have been on about how big data and large datasets can be be used against the population for decades. Now key data released by the immigration department may provide the key to bringing barbaric crimes out into the open. Data released by the Government shows thousands of child brides allowed by immigration. Accounts by some of the victims detail how they were used to gain access to America even though they were underage. While some senators have sworn to close the loopholes used to bring child brides into the US we can only expect more of this type of activity to come to light in the future as the public engages in analysis of data released by governments.

    Why use age when we can measure? Age is especially problematic for immigrants, with lots of falsification occurring.

    For females: Use an MRI scanner to check the bone structure around the womb. This includes the lowest rib, the pelvic opening, and the interconnecting spine. Have a computer model the passage of a 5 kg baby. If a birth wouldn't need medical intervention, then the female is ready.

    For males: The male must show an ability to fully support a family consisting of himself, a female, and at least one child.

    For both: They must be able to read and write in the country's primary language. They must show some basic understanding of consumer finance, how babies are made, and how diseases spread.
