R' Yaacov Shulman:
"But where is the context of darkei shalom, which is to say, as I am seeing
it, the humanistic context: that 12-1/2 year old girls should not be
married, and in particular not to adults?"

You're making this assessment based on the society you live in. If you were
living in an era where the average lifespan was 35, would you still feel
this way?
