Recently, U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore was accused of dating before he was married. How is this a crime? The females were 14 to 18 years old, and he was 32. Also, he got to "second base" with the 14 year old. Technically, no crime was committed, but people regard his behavior as inappropriate. In 2017, the combination of ages is considered wrong. Was it always wrong? Let us look at some history about appropriate ages.
In modern times, there have been many May-December marriages. Some examples come from President Trump. He married Ivana when he was 31 and she was 28. Later, he married Marla when he was 47 and she was 30. He married Melania when he was 59 and she was 35. The husband gets older, but the bride is always around 30 years old.
The king of robbing the cradle is probably Hugh Hefner. His wives on their wedding days were, in chronological order, 23, 27, and 26.
The biggest contrast in ages is probably when Anna Nicole Smith married J. Howard Marshall. They were 26 and 89.
The youngest bride age in a famous marriage is when the founder of Islam, Muhammad, married Aisha, who was six. They consummated when she was nine. Liberals dare not complain about this arrangement, lest they insult the "religion of peace."

ROFL!
After needling him.
That's rooted in human biology, and arguments against it must be taken up with Mother Nature. :)
Jeez, are you gullible.
“”In modern times, there have been many May-December marriages. Some examples come from President Trump. He married Ivana when he was 31 and she was 28.””
I think the writer should be required to take a math course! Why in the devil would the first marriage qualify as a May-December marriage?
Anyway - I am so tired of the pundits - all over the place no matter the channel, who are repeating the nonsense about “the woman” even voted Republican. Yesterday it was, “she ADMITTED to voting Republican.” Juan Williams just said, “she voted for Trump” so he’s taking it a step further. They all have access to the woman’s voting history, right?
Don’t any of them hear themselves? On Hannity Friday night he had Geraldo, Greg Jarrett and some bimbo I’d never seen or heard of before and she had to be the most gullible person ever to appear on TV. “These women didn’t even know one another. They all appeared on their own.” You could have told that woman that Superman was changing his clothes in the green room (does Hannity have a green room?) and she would have repeated it!
Hannity is the lone voice in the wilderness on this one and he’s right - WHY are people accepting at face value all the smut they hear? I was surprised at Greg Jarrett’s take on the interview - it was the same as Geraldo’s...”not favorable at all to Moore.”
There was never issue made of it and us kids thought it was kinda of neat that they weren't the same age. Nobody ever accused my mom of sexual abuse for marrying a very younger man.
This whole thing with Moore is much to do about nothing....except politics. It's convenient to accuse Moore of sexual abuse when it benefits the people doing the accusing and who want Moore to step aside.
This is not about sex. It's about politics.
How about 13 to 19?
Someone is.
Odd that none of this came forward during Moore’s entire public career...until now, that is.
I stand with him. His accusers are liars.
It is a puzzlement, isn't it?
I stand with him. His accusers are liars.
The problem is proving it. I think Moore wins this one but the GOP establishment primaries him in 2020 and puts someone more...manageable in.
