Why not? The age people have traditionally gotten married at has varied all over the place so as long as they have hit puberty (typically around 13) it does not seem to have caused any harm and in most cases seemed to work fairly well for most societies in the past.
Just because you’re now used to 18 as the minimum age for getting married in the US does not mean that is some magical number arrived at by science or some such thing. It was a campaign by feminist back at the turn of the previous century along with a push to give women the vote and a push to outlaw alcohol. Well we’ve seen how the last two have turned out, the first one might not have been such a good idea either.
Are you sure?
18 is quite "some magical number", and you can offer no evidence of any number being more magical. Spare me your Voodoo B.S. about 27 & 6, because I've heard it all before.
53 is right out. Even the Wiccans make fun of it now.
Numerology is entertaining for a short while. Everybody knows Phrenology is really where its at.
Strawdog arguments are fun. Dazzle me some more.
Why not?
Why not what?
You think it’s okay for fathers to sell their daughters without their consent? If so, I guess doing it early cuts down on the rebellion and the subsequent need to kill them.
