And because of that and other social sanctions the out of wedlock birth rate for teens was much lower then. Who even knows what that birth rate was. My guess studying it would be a little like studying suicide rates. Because it's a shameful event, there is precious little reliable public record. As far as I can tell, those birth rates were out of sight out of mind. May have been as much; perhaps not. But that was a shameful social policy, both the gender punishment difference and the punishment itself. A small mistake is made and thus we all combine to ruin at least one and possibly two lives at the micro level. No telling how many at the macro level.
