Are you a Christian? do you feel this is morally correct? What youneed to understand while you sit in that dark room, overweight and eatinghamburgers which have obviously restricted the blood flow to your bran, Is thatin a time were marriages like this were perfectly acceptable, Today we havelegal consent and ages vary around the country though it doesn’t stop a girl inAmsterdam when on a primary school trip who realized that her water broke anddidnt even know she was pregnant after having it off in the boys toilet wouldhave been perfectly acceptable because of course they weren’t married. Anywayin those years circumstances were quiet different people went upon maturity andif a woman had began ovulating it was seen as a sign to get married, As Aishawas also know by her peers to be very mature, by the way the bible pictures thesame story how many wife’s did Moses have in the bible? I believe about 2000 wife’sand some of them were 6, 9 10 the ages vary, how many wife’s did Solomon havein the bible? Triple that of Moses and once again you find records of their age to be as young as 9 or 10, so oneneeds to understand the cultural aspect as well as what was deemed acceptablein those days. The funny thing is its big head lines when a 50year old Muslim man marries a 16 year old girl, but perfectly normal for a 12year old to be pregnant from a man she doesn’t even know which in most westernsocieties its their own father as once again this would be no surprise, thequestion is where do these youth get these ideas? of course the bible which portraysincest over and over again? prophets sleeping with their daughter or having sexwith the husbands wife for a flock of sheep, or Noah laying bare with his sons?

Here’s the problem with your thoughts. The kings of Isreal were never intended to have more than one wife. So in fact multiple wives in the Christian Bible is not looked upon highly. Again homosexuality, polygamy, rape, incest and sexual encounters outside of Marriage is not prohibited.
Also, do you think it would be okay for a “mature” 12 yr old to get married if the parents thought it was okay today? what about a ten year old?
