Some cultures sexualize girls early....super cold climate folk and nomads and isolated islanders.....some Hassidim fairly early arranged marriage..and of course FLDS......our rural areas once married off girls early..my maternal grandma was 15.
Papa was barely 18
1920
She didn’t even know what sex was literally....she used to recount to me when it was just she and I in her 70s and 80s....poor thing...she was lucky my grandpa was a tender hearted boy
Nine months after that honeymoon buggy ride by the spring under the moon ona Mississippi hot summer night and she was making paper dolls for herself and her baby
And fixing to get pregnant again.
They had to grow up fast....my great grandma and grandpa let them live in the tack house cabin
They moved to the city in 1924.....like most rural folk then
I stayed some weekends with that great grandma in preschool years....no running water and an outhouse
Kid u not
Fried pies and she chewed her own tobacco rope and shot and rode her saddlebred in her late 70s
260 acres and that and tobacco allotments was their means of life
Crazy
Kids today have no idea
I at least got a taste of it
My great grandpa died in that front parlor and was lain there in an alcohol drenched coffin till his burial for folks to come by before the wagon took him down the pike to Burns Mississippi Presbyterian antebellum graveyard
Farms long gone..can’t find it now...the land is all Scott Paper
Our culture is so so bad
In our lifetimes a cliff dive
You said so yourself....at 15, your grandmother had NO idea what SEX was.
Today, in some places in the USA, they know what it is at 5 or at least by 8 and by 15, are "old hands" at it; not married, mind you, but 'round the block and back so often, it's sickening.
The Hassidim marry early, but not THAT early and usually it's the kids of the BIG TIME Rabbis, who marry the earliest and it's akin to long past royal weddings...mergers and such, for territory and breeding stock.
