I do not buy this line. Would be nice but life is not so simple as this.

Could you elaborate? Is it your contention that the average mom at YFZ didn't know that her daughters would be expected to enter into arranged marriages?

I think the issue is not arranged marriages but underage pregancies. I think it is clear that many people at this compound do not know what outside society's version of normal is. I guess you can say they should have known but I've always considered that argument weak. I think that many of these women have no reference point outside of the compound from which to judge the activities inside.
