[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] May seem ridiculous, Chris, but many southeastern European countries' cultures -- especially in rural areas -- have a husband lined up for a girl by the time she's 7 or 8, and usually married off by 10 or 11. One American anthropologist who went over there discovered many of those girls/women had never had their periods, having gotten pregnant before they had a chance to go through their first one, and not getting any breaks. Yeek. Epoch -- thanks for the clarification. Cool. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of teenagers' existence as individuals, and weren't just regarding them with the sort of blanket condescension I've seen in a lot of adults (who seem to have forgotten their own teen years, and that children are merely small humans and not mental defectives). TSN -- That wasn't what I was saying at all. I'm just saying that, like many things people tend to take for granted, the age of consent is not some carefully-researched and scientifically-consistent Law of Nature. And that, like all things we have a tendancy to accept dogmatically, it should be examined and challenged to determine its worth and validity. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
