It was all well over a thousand years ago in a largely illiterate society. Who was there to record such things? And who recorded dates of birth back then anyway?

Someone enlighten me, if possible.

It's amazing how simplistic people can be, especially when it comes to solving social problems, or confusing correlation and causality.

How is it that this type of paedophilia will "contribute to reducing the many social problems out there"?

What a lovely situation. If there are so many well educated and powerful women, why on earth don't they fight harder for their sisters?

For women, if the man doesn't agree to the divorce, it can be very, very hard to get unless she can show that he is not supporting her and the kids.

Lets face it if this happened in this part of the world, it wouldn't last 5 minutes anyway. At least he is supporting her continued education which is something I suppose.
