@miria @tsukiko@freak.university You are asking me to prove 2+2=4
@applejack @miria @tsukiko@freak.university I have doubts about that. At least in the west. Yeah people married sooner or had symbolic marriages for purposes of wealth and power transfers, but I don't think that adults fucking preteens was common. The couple from Sneedsville made headlines meaning it was something you don't see every day.

Because it was late 19th, when it was shifting
This Roman/Greek one even explicitly says they married at 12 for procreation
They menstruate at 12 for a reason

This actually does make me question, why do most women expect to be treated like childern while dating.
Because when you think about it, after a child marriage, that wold make them do the same behavior for years before she was ready.
