More like, I wanted to not step into the bog, but..

It's more like calling the Church to task. In that world, technical advancement and modernization is NOT supposed to matter to its own eternal biblical truth, and most definitely current times are not supposed to hold any significant influence where changing those golden rules is involved.

You can see this in the continued stance against gay relationships and abortion for example (I am not expressing a stance on either), but hold your breath at your own risk where marriage at 12 is concerned.

I've been against so-called child marriages here in the past, but as cultural society seems to crumble (or is being intentionally forced) more and more to the ways of hedonistic narcissism, this marriage worry lately seems to either matter less, or actually become a source of protection if the husband is devoted to her, true, and humble, as it may soon protect her from harm more than it will deny her some ephemeral personal freedom of engagement with an intentionally corrupted system. Don't think we're there quite yet, but perhaps we're getting close enough for clouding righteous paths.

Where would they seek reference against hetero child marriages upon the collapse of civil society? The millstone never referenced marriage.

Tip of the hat to my incel step-brothers. We are not alike by any means, but it seems to me we share at least the 3rd wave feminist enemy.

Sorry, GC, I am drunk and currently uncensored. No implied nor schemed intentional support intended, but let's face it, those guys would not be such a force today without the cancerous pox of 3rd wave feminism.
