@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

@applejack @miria @tsukiko@freak.university This does not mention the age of both partners if I'm reading right. I'm pretty sure puberty was considered marrying age of both boys and girls. Teens marrying is much more different than an adult marrying a preteen.
@applejack
Well yeah, but that's also not pedophilia. Yeah it might stretch a bit but not an entire generation.
