Thanks for the links...Perry's "info-service" is impressive as well as needed...good work!I think it's quite a big subject:child brides...the age factor...although that makes little difference...is between the legal aspect/approval of the father/parents & the "consummation"...I had forgotten about that...but even from the viewpoint of consummation - agewise - those countries are lightyears apart from "civilised" countries...but if one considers also the time & age of the super nasty circumcision for girls...mainly in Africa...then I think it becomes clear, that woman/girls have little to say,to decide for their own wellbeing, being a mere object (although that can be claimed has pretty much OT-similarities)
