      Look at all the famous groupies back then. Look at the commercials with Brooke Shields. Nobody got upset. Great Granny got married even earlier. Times do indeed change

        The problem with your previous comment is not about you stating it happened, it’s the justification you came up with.

        There was quite a lot of pearl-clutching over Brooke Shields at the time.

        One of my grannies got married at 16. She was a miserable woman who hated every day she was alive, yet lived into her 80s. Conclude what you like from that anecdote: I have no idea if she was like that due to early marriage, or if she had other reasons to be hateful and bitter.
