Re: Marriageable Age!
Um yeah, anything before 1950, teen marriages were common and the norm.
That’s because the concept of “teenagers”, etc didn’t come about until later. There was no such thing as a driving age or drinking age back then, no such thing as “high school”, no such thing as “college” for women at least. Even my grandmothers were home schooled. A lot of people didn’t go to a formal school.
Things are different now. You’re lucky if your 19 year old is acting like an adult; in the muslim community abroad most of them aren’t even mature enough to get a frikkin scholarship to an actual university; they end up in community college at best. Because they’re too busy goofing around.
Right. These people aren’t even mature enough to handle LIFE let alone MARRIAGE.
