Calm down with the virtue signaling. Less than 100 years ago, 12 yr olds were getting married. 16 is the age of consent in most US states. Most of Europe too. Also, you may want to look up the definition of pedophile.
You are trying to pass this off as OK. Its not. If this were a 16 year old and 17 year old it would be a different story. This is a pedophile man seducing and grooming a young girl that is underage. Yes there are some marriages. As I say, there is something very sad and sick when a man this age marries a girl so much younger. If you read the comments you would see that most are in agreement with me. There are countries that allow 13 yr olds to get married as well. Roman Polanski raped a 13 yr old girl and Trenton Tarantino defended him saying the girl wanted it. Things are getting turned upside down in this matter. We need to protect Children from groomers. They are not equipped to say no to the tricks they use and can easily be swayed to marry for many reasons, including male attention.
So for thousands of years, when a female got her period, she was a woman, and eligible for marriage. 100 years ago, we extended 'childhood' to what we now call adolescence, and you think now it's getting turned upside down?
Girls are now getting their period at 10 or 11. You're saying they're grown women and ready to make decisions about sex?? They're kids who still believe in Santa ffs.

Andy explained when they first met - through Beth's mum - he didn't realise the 16-year-old had romantic feelings towards him.
Is he kidding? He was wishing and hoping his grooming tactics would work.

You need to think with your brain, not with your feelings. Your feelings are putting words in my mouth, so you can stay angry. Use logic, not emotion.
