I agree that it is wrong to force these young girls to marry, it is the stupid age limits that gets me.

1 Corinthians 7:36
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.

No one has to be a mathematical genius to figure this out, most people know that age to be around 14 years of age, an 8 year old girl is not of that age, its all about human nature.

On the other hand most of the stupid western culture wants their daughters to go to college before they get married so they can say ; oh, hey , look what a great job i did raising my kids.

So the tax payers have to pay for the birth control pills and pay for the care of the unwed mothers who has passed the flower.

I do not think i need to mention the unborn babies murdered by the thousands.

Yes what they are doing is sick, and what is happening in the usa is just as sick, maybe even sicker because we are a very intelligent people : sarc :

18 is the best age to draw the line as an adult.

Know of any 14 year olds with full time jobs supporting a family?

I realize that libertarians don’t like any age limits for drugs and sex and crap, but they are all insane.

I’m not sure what you are trying to say. Are you saying that “the flower of” a woman’s age is 14 years old and that if she isn’t married by then, she’s an old maid? Or are you saying that a woman starts menstruating, "passing her flower?" at age 14 therefore should be able to get married?

Either way, you are wrong.

The average age of menarche in humans is 12–13 years, but is normal anywhere between ages 8 and 16. The average age of menarche is about 12.5 years in the United States.

And there are several interpretations and translations of 1 Corinthians 7:36 and none seem to support what you seem to be saying:

On the other hand they could marry off their 12 or 14 year old daughters and say; oh, hey , look what a great job I did pawning my kid off to a man twice or three or more times her age.
