There's a few things you have to keep in mind. [I'm not condoning this, nor am I going to freak out over it. Just a logical standpoint with an understanding of history. Maturity varies from person to person, and girls usually end up mentally maturing quicker than boys. Different countries and cultures view sexuality than the American Puritan background [It's there. Trust me.] Over time, the acceptance age at which sexual copulation has changed. Ancient cultures would sometimes marry girls off, right when they were capable of breeding, without it being TOO much of a danger. [think around 12 or so.] Life expectancy was much shorter back then, so adulthood changed alot.
