Indeed! It was common. My husband’s mother was 18 when she married his father who was 30. They had a very happy marriage for 22 years until she died of cancer at the age of 40.
I was married at 20. My cousins married in their late teens. This was the late 60s.
I attended nursing school. We started with a class of 100. Only 50 graduated. Nearly all left, in their TEENS, to get married. Several married doctors who were 30 or **more**.
Also, if you read the women’s stories Moore did not do anything bad to them and sex wasn’t even a factor. Just a few dates or flirting. And again he was single and it was almost 40 years ago. I could see if he’s had complaints throughout his career or life of harassing or assaulting young women, but there is nothing here that is bad. I think the story about the 14 year old is completely false and notice that is the only story that makes Moore look bad. The female who claims she was 14 is not credible at all and imo was paid.
There are people out there who know her and know she’s full of it because of her past.
“Dome married doctors” back then it was a big reason to become a nurse... ;-)
My father was 32, and my mother was 16 when they married in 1936. Their first child wasn’t born until 1940. I was the last, born in 1947. The libs would label him a pedophile today, and he was a Democrat.
