Duck Dynasty star: Girls should carry a Bible, cook and marry 'when they are 15'

Recently uncovered video indicates that Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson may have fringe views -- other than those on homosexuality and civil rights -- that most Americans would find far outside the mainstream.

In a controversial interview with GQ that was published online this month, Robertson had compared homosexuality to bestiality and terrorism. He also said that African-Americans were happy during the Jim Crow-era.

The A&E network briefly suspended the reality TV star before bowing to pressure from fans and reinstating him only days later.

But some Americans could also be shocked to find out that Robertson believes that the age of 15 is the perfect time for girls to get married -- as long as they can cook and carry a Bible.

At a Sportsmen's Ministry talk in 2009, Robertson had some advice for a young man.

"Make sure that she can cook a meal, you need to eat some meals that she cooks, check that out," he said. "Make sure she carries her Bible. That'll save you a lot of trouble down the road. And if she picks your ducks, now, that's a woman."

"They got to where they're getting hard to find," Robertson remarked. "Mainly because these boys are waiting until they get to be about 20 years old before they marry 'em. Look, you wait until they get to be 20 years old, the only picking that's going to take place is your pocket."

The Duck Commander company founder added: "You got to marry these girls when they are about 15 or 16, they'll pick your ducks. You need to check with mom and dad about that of course."

He went on to say that the Bible gave Americans the right to hunt.

And Robertson practices what he preaches. He began dating his wife, Kay, when she was only 14 and he was 18. They waited until Kay was 16 to get married.
