chinu. You said...." While on that subject, let me also add that when the British colonialized the Indo-Pak subcontinent, the practice of child-marriage was very prevalent in the sub-continent. It is cultural and has nothing to do with religion. That aspect of child marriage took on a different tone, when young girls were getting married off to older well settled men. It was purely for economic reasons. And to stop that from happening (younger girls geting married to old men for economic security for life, the practice of 'sati' set in to discourage that to some extent."..... ....." And to stop that from happening (younger girls geting married to old men for economic security for life, the practice of 'sati' set in to discourage that to some extent."..... Why would that country bother to stop it? Is it because it is wrong whether it is a religious thing or a cultural thing? And I suppose these older well settled men took these little girls in because they were just good guys.? You said..." 'sati' set in to discourage that to some extent.".....
