I can see two sides of the story. What I am reading is that mostly everyone (the commenters any way) seem to fully understand the conscept of veriabilities in any given situation, cultur, education extra. I went clubbing when I was 12 and for all intense and purposes I looked like a grown woman, I didn't get into men till about 14 but oddly enough I may have done better to be alowed to marry at 16. My mind and culture would never have alowed for such things but if we are asking woman to be virgins by 16 some young men and woman are going squirly in there skin. But we are all diffrent I have known those who didn't seem to care till oder and girlfriends who were boy cazy serveral years younger. I just got an e-mail from a friend from highschool who is with the same man since 17 their oldest is 7 like mine and she also has two others. But if you consider that a child isn't fully developed mentaly till they are 18-25 and are actualy not criminaly held accountible for there actions in the same manner as an adult are they infact of age to make the disision that they want to marry, or have they been tought it's pleasing to God and your parents to marry said man. If you think that your status in heven will be affected by your choice to not go with said man, if you think that your home life will become hard because your parents and your siblings are unpleased, what kind of a choice is that? and if the man you marring is 20 or more years older than you, it's like asking you to adventualy be a widow. Now back to the other side of the story. Growing together is amazing. When I first lived with my ex-husband we rented a room in a house, our room was the room of teenagers: posters on the wall, matress on the floor, we liked to lisen to music, drink tea and dance barefoot in the back yard. It's hard to explain but I am so diffrent from then that I think it's sad to lose, it's something another man won't get to do with me. Watch me grow. I also think it's said to get divorced, a woman likes to know her man remembers what she looked like in her youth, pre-children, but remember I didn't marry till 19 so that doesn't apply to the topic on hand.
In conclusion I am saying that it is such a wide topic, so many things to consider. Yes it's hard to make a general statement. I don't think it's beyond the courts responsibility to get envolved.
