Bible Question: Okay...I figured it was the "age of maturity," but why did, and some cultures still do, people marry before then? |
Bible Answer: Good question, Kelkat! Perhaps the other cultures that you speak of do not have many things, besides this 'age of maturity'.. If they do not have the Lord God as their only source of worship and strength, then this would go a long way into explaining why they do not have rules or a 'social rule' that prohibits marriage until a certain 'maturity' has been reached in the specific individuals involved. --Nolan |
