Re: Human standards of adulthood
Okay…so…just because a child is a fisherman or laborer makes him/her ready for marriage? Just because the child earns a living…or is adept in handling domestic chores (cooking, cleaning, sewing, etc)…makes them ready for marriage? Being able to handle a job and chores around the house does not necessarily mean that the person ALSO has the emotional and mental maturity for marriage. You seem to think that biological (reproduction) and physical capabilities (labor, etc) are all that one needs to get hitched. Not, so. To simplified.
Now, to each his own. I don’t know if you’re a male or female…but if you feel so strongly about this…then why not lead the way? Why don’t you get married to 9-year-old girl? Or be the first to consider getting your daughter married at 13?
