.....especially when no one here knows what the circumstances of this pregnancy were.

Oh, I'm sure the poor young woman married first, then became pregant. Since she is now a single mom, her poor husband must have died.

Tragic, huh?

"Oh, I'm sure the poor young woman married first, then became pregant. Since she is now a single mom, her poor husband must have died."

Someone I know very well married at fifteen and got pregnant several months later and ended up a single parent not too many years later.

The problem is that people here condemn her for being pregnant at fifteen without even knowing the circumstances.

A lot of people here take the position that a fifteen year old cannot give consent to sex. Where do you stand? If she cannot give consent then what do you fault her for, not aborting the baby? If you think she could give consent, then are you opposed to her being married at that age?
