My grandparents got married in 1924. She was 17 and he was 30. They had 10 children from 1925-1944 and 26 grandchildren and I don’t have any idea how many great- and great-great-grandchildren to date.
The established man who can take care of a family dating and marrying the young, healthy, and fertile bride was very common throughout human history until very recently. It was the safest way to make a family.
Remember that, somewhat less than logical, "blast from the past?"
I worked wit a guy who at 65 married an18 year old woman. No alcohol, drugs or undue influence was involved.
good, more data. let’s follow the money.
I’M curious to know what the age of consent was in Alabama 40 years ago? My sister in law got married in Kentucky around that time because the age to consent for marriage was 12 or 13 and she was 14 & pregnant. She and her husband are still married to this day.
Many southern states had very different laws back then, including alcohol consumption laws.
Even today, a 12 year old is not considered a child if she wants an abortion. She’s referred to as a ‘woman’, not a child or a teenager.
“Well, if the drinking age really was 21 back when he dated this then-18-year-old, he did contribute to her breaking the law.”
You must have never dated an eighteen year old.
For one thing, he says he did not do it. So, why do you choose to believe the accusers over Moore, who has certainly demonstrated more discipline than the average person.
Now it has come out that one of the accusers worked for Hillary and Biden; has pictures taken with Biden.
“And, in my mind, it is sleazy to ply a woman with liquor, anyhow.”
There you go again — accusation — established fact.
The Dark Ages are calling you.
16 in the 1800’s it was 10
You get better as you get older.
Hell, Harvey Weinstein was offering fame and fortune.
If I am understanding this accusation, she was 14 and Roy Moore did something wrong to her and then when she was 18 he was dating her? Why would she go near him again if he did something to her when she was 14? This does not add up.
PAULA COBIA, has donated thousands to the Dems according to the FEC site.
Got it from another article. Which didn’t mention that either.
Or that the lawyer’s field is media.
Wait, he dated an 18 year old, that’s the accusation? Huh. This woman needs to get a life.
He was interviewed on the Hannity show today. He said that at the time he supposedly bought drinks at a restaurant for this 18 year old, it was a dry county. That would be easy to prove.
Jones wont even admit in ads or signs that he is a D.
Yep. Noticed that in the past years.
Mayors don’t even sport the ‘insignia’.
She was 18 years at the time, what was the crime?
Existing while conservative.
Hillary Clinton, is that you?
Hefner having a 50 years difference with one of his playmate wife doesn’t raise an eyebrow among the leftist and feminists for whose causes he dearly contributed.
