I've noticed a lot of times these "Talmud quotes" are either intentional mistranslations, total fabrications, or taken out of context by people who have a point to make. Occasionally (something like the sucking blood from the circumcision) they are true. I will ask someone who will translate the Aramaic for me in these two sections and let you know if it's accurate later today.
These are not mistranslations - they have been independently verified over and over again. The translation that I provided is a translation provided by a Rabbi, not some "goyim" layperson who happens to know the language. They have been translated by people who KNOW what is meant by those passages. There are many more than those two quotes, I only highlighted those two for brevity.
Search YouTube for Talmud pedophilia, and you'll find many more.
So apparently the first one is slightly off and out of context. It actually talks about a situation where a girl converts before the age of 2 and whether she's suitable for a priest
(Cohen) to marry. It says that if she was converted before 2 he can marry her but ask whether she can be married to him(priests are required to generally marry women who are virgins and jews from birth). It goes on to ask if she was deflowered before 2 if he can marry her and says he cannot, but a regular Jew still can.
Now with that said Talmudic Judaism does view the appropriate age for marriage as 12 for women and 13 for men.
