"Do you know any 12 year olds that got married? I do. Guess what, they're still married." :epstein:
Back on :reddit-logo: I remember getting the H I S T O R I C A L A C C U R A C Y defense for that. One of them even said "you're saying my own ancestors were pedophiles."
:yes:
Also someone married that young is less likely to have support circles outside of the immediate family.
and that immediate family is often reactionary and in favor of the marriage
It's like whether or not people divorce or not isn't the be all and end all sign of whether a relationship is healthy or not. There was probably a lot less divorce when wives could just be fucking bought as well.
Right? How is someone who was married at 12 and I guess presumably kept home from that point supposed to get the resources to not be homeless if they leave?
