[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In some places in Mexico, kids as young as 12 can marry. In Canada, it's 16. In many places and cultures, wide age differences are viewed as acceptable. Not sure why you think it's a "southern" or religious thing.[/quote]

It is both a southern thing, and fundamentalist Christianity thing. Of course, most fundamentalist Christianity is in the south. That is a fact.

I grew up in rural SC as a baptist and now live in rural Georgia (did a 15 year DC stint). In all my 25 years of rural southern living, I can think of NO example of grown men “courting”  teenagers. Some teens married (17, 16 maybe) but they married another teen. In fact, most fathers would kill a man who tried to court their 14 year old DD. It just is not common. It is not a southern thing. It’s as rare as Duggar families. 
My AL native DH was as shocked as I was to hear about Roy Moore and some Christians who supported him.[/quote]
