Oh, okay. See, I thought it was obvious to anyone who knows anything about world history knows that teens being married and even bearing children during the early- and even late- 19th century was not an uncommon occurance. And in case you guys didn't know, it had been going on for centuries before as well. In fact, I have seen some speculations claiming that it is not out of the realm of possibility the Mary, the mother of Jesus, may not have been much older than 14 or 15 when she gave birth. That being said, and I know how you anti's think, so I will clarify now, that does not in any way justify the practice of teen marriage today. Kids are not ready, for a number of reasons, to enter into that practice today. Were they ready when they practiced those things in earlier centuries? Possibly, I wasn't there then, and neither were you, so it would be hard to judge practices that occurred then by today's standards. The world in general is much different today than it was then, and less emphasis is being placed on preparing young kids for marriage at an early age, if ever, today. The average 14 y/o is not ready for marriage today, while it is not impossible to imagine that in earlier times, young people were ready to make those kinds of commitments. Am I being clear enough for you yet, guys? That was pathetic, but if that's all you've got, I guess that's all we're going to get. Thank you for the effort.
