I don't think you should talk to me like that. This is part of why I
would rather use a more neutral example. I have absolutely no interest
in marrying a nine-year old girl and as I said in my answer, I have no
objections to the statutory rape laws and I'm not interested in
repealing them.
No one thinks you are, we are discussing the social laws of marriage and coming of age. If you like, forget the example of Ashia and Muhammed. The issue of measuring adulthood by menses or nocturnal emission is a method well adapted to small communities. When you speak of nations of millions, or tens of millions or hundreds of millions, that standard is no longer useful.
