If a guy started chatting marriage to me, when I was 13, i would be soo totally freaked.
Oh dear, that brought up a memory! I had forgotten that I was 13 when my parents were approached about an arranged marriage for me! Thankfully that is just not a custom for Americans. But even it was more acceptable than what has been described here. This was to be arranged between the parents who had known each other for more than 30 years (though the prospective groom and I had only met one afternoon at a luncheon). Even though his family was going have me move to Mexico City and pay for private schooling and 4 years of college, a wedding before college was not even negotiable with them, much less my parents.

As to legalities mentioned earlier, while it is a criminal offense if a 16 year old has intercourse with 13 year old in the U.S., I don't think it would really be considered pedophilia o the part of someone only 16, unless the other person was far younger than 13. Just my guess though.


Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life.
