"under Islamic law, girls as young as nine could marry."
Or to put it another way:
"The current outcry was started by a statement on adolescence posted online by the Diyanet, the state body which administers religious institutions and education.
It said that, according to Islamic law, the beginning of adolescence for boys was the age of 12 and for girls the age of nine. On the same website, it said that whoever reached the age of adolescence had the right to marry."
in the fifties, Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13-year-old cousin when he was 23 years old.
But...
during Roy Moore's political campaign women came forward alleging he hit on them and worse 30 or 40 years ago.
Yeah OK, and...
So what? What does that have to do with this?
