Just disgusting. I have a 22 year old daughter. By the grace of God she lives in the US and can choose her own husband and her own lifestyle.

'Fined himself a cow (as the judge), paid the cow (as the defendant), received the cow (as the head of state) and then presumably slapped himself on the wrist and told himself not to do it again.'

Well, I hope he's learned his lesson.

---when tens of thousands of bare-breasted girls took part in a traditional rite of Spring. ---

That, and the comment about "perks", leads me to believe there's a joke here.....somewhere......

Like John Cleese in Fawlty Towers.

Slapping himself on the a$$ while
yelling "Bad Basil ! Bad Basil ! ..."

Must have meant 'he found himself a cow.' :)

I think he needs a slap on the head, not the wrist.

I could very well be wrong, but I think I remember from a class long ago, that this was (in some cultures) a rule, you did not marry until the pregnancy.

That is what the period of betrothal or engagement to be married is for. In particular, if you are the first son of royalty or wealth, it is important to find out if the marriage will have issue to inheirit the family titles or money.

She will now wear royal loin cloths when she appears in public and has dropped out of school in order to be groomed as the monarch's wife.

I'll bet that takes up the better part of her day.
