2009 Video: Phil Robertson Promotes Marrying Girls at 15 or 16 Years Old

WATCH: Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson Advises Ministry Crowd to Marry Girls at ’15 or 16′ Years Old (Mediaite)

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has just managed to avoid a suspension over his controversial remarks to GQ magazine, but a video from 2009 could cause another headache for the Duck Commander patriarch. In a speech to a 2009 gathering of the Sportsmen’s Ministry, Robertson offered marriage advice to the men in the crowd, which included standard yesteryear fare like finding a woman who can cook, but which also included a clear instruction to marry 15-year-old girls, or, alternately, 16-year-olds.

Robertson began his “river rat counseling” by advising men to “make sure that she can cook a meal,” and to “make sure she carries your Bible,” but stressed that “if she picks your ducks, now that’s a woman!”

To laughter from the crowd, Robertson continues, “They’re gettin’ hard to find, mainly because these boys are waitin’ ’til they get to be about 20 years old before they marry them. Look, you wait ’til they get to be about 20 years old, the only pickin’ that’s gonna take place is your pocket!”
