So basically it cuts both ways--the story is somewhat anachronisitc in lumping teen wives into its mix, but the fact that we frown on such marriages today does support the notion that our attitudes have drastically changed.

Aggreed, you know it is a western contrivance and a recent one that only someone 18 and over is an adult. I understand why though. Our society has a lot of serial fornicators and child molesters in it and you have have to pass more laws to protect a society as it begins its moral decline.

I live in Georgia and there still are a few examples of couples that were married in their teens. Nothing wrong with it from a Biblical standpoint, its just that our society has chosen to stigmatize it.

Today if a teen has sex outside of marriage, there is no requirement by society to get married like there used to be. In fact most parents today really give their teen a pass on fornication.

Yep America is falling.
