But not 12 or 13 (while being post puberty)?
I don't think I've ever been put in the "notoriously over the top ATS liberal 'Human rights' advocates" group, but I agree with what you say
otherwise, of course. It should be a mutually agreed upon thing.
Also, not that you're stating it (although you might be, I can't tell?), "arranged marriage" is another cultural hang-up I've noticed. People seem to
think it is the pit of evil or something. But if the families of 2 people scout around, investigate, and then arrange (with both relevant parties'
consent, of course) a marriage between the two, what is the wrong in that? That is how most "arranged marriages" I've seen happened. Heck, I seem to
remember a study a couple years ago showing how arranged marriages lasted longer on average- which makes sense too, considering that they were
arranged with individual and family compatibility in mind.
