Wow I was not expecting my implication that pedophilia is gross to go so far.
Let me take a sec to address the author of the thread. I don't really have anything to add to the Christianity part besides That is crazy! As for the Aisha part, she was 6 or 7(people disagreed) and was 9 when the marriage was consummated. It is Crazy.
I think Max-Greece and Nora made a lot of great points. When I was 13, a 25 year old man was just that a MAN. I was a kid. I didn't want to date a man. I wanted to date the cute boy in my class. I think Most people would want that for their kids to date someone of there own maturity level. (Maturity of mind, body) There is NOWAY a 13 year old girl is as physically mature as a 25 year old girl. Now mental maturity happens at different rates. I considered myself very mature at 13 I had a lot of responsibilities, but now I know just how much I have changes in all the years. I do not think that any 13 year old child is ready for a relationship with an adult. While there might be some 13 year old that are ready to explore their bodies, then they should do so with someone at the same level. Not someone who has the mental, physical, and emotional experience of a grown adult. As we grow up, we get better bull'o'meters and become harder to manipulate. We can tell the difference between healthy attention, someone who wants to love us in a healthy way and someone who doesn't. As we mature we also see the differences in people of different ages and maturity levels. No a 13 year old girl is not a baby, but she is in no way an adult. Adults should be able to see the difference in a baby and teen and someone who is a dateable candidate.
At that age our parents should be there to guide us, when we are unable to tell a dateable person from someone who isn't. It is sad that her's weren't. It is even more sad to think they encouraged it.
