“environmental stress” actually causes puberty at a younger age, it is proven to have also speeded psychological maturity. This maturity helped in coping with the responsibilities of early marriage and childbearing.

Marriage and sex at 16

But notice you said UNDER DEVELOPED countries. Sixteen yr. olds and babies should never go hand in hand. No matter what the law of the land allows. Name one 16 yr old parent that you feel this would not be "harmful" to the life of the baby or the parent.

PLEASE!

Take the freaking conversation about age of consent to another, more pertinent topic.

You have hijacked this thread over it--and this thread is about GAY MARRIAGE.

Your age of consent arguments should be moved to another thread, and you can continue this conversation there.

Environmental stress is even more reason not to have sex at 16.
