When I was 19, I had a 16 year old girlfriend. Her parents were fine with it. I looked young but they knew how old I was. My parents were old fashioned, born in the 20s, but they were fine with it. This girl had already been in treatment for alcohol abuse and probably had more experience in, uhmm, other things than I did. Her mom was a pharmacist and made sure the girl was on the pill.

A couple of hundred years ago, it was normal for a girl 14/15 to marry a guy that was 18/19 etc.

The Roy Moore thing, if true, was a bit more extreme at 35/15 but probably not all that uncommon in AL back in those days. Any poor family would have loved to marry their girl off to a lawyer, doctor or anyone else that could provide a good life.(and possibly help the family financially) Especially a farming family that has a few girls. They needed boys to help on the farm, not a bunch of girls to feed.

These pukes in politics would make a harlots of Mary because she was also very young. Let’s go through history and apply 2021 standards to everyone!
