I know and I agree. My question isn't one of legality. Certainly it's illegal and I believe we should prosecute adults who take advantage of minors. My question is only a question of culture. In many cultures throughout the world it's not uncommon to marry as early as 14. I'm just curious about why we decided that the age of marriage be significantly higher than what is found in the majority of human history and cultures? It's just a cultural question sis.
