[Avodah] the cohen gadol and marriage to a pubescent girl

[Rich, Joel]

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?

True, but doesn't this get to an issue of the Torah was given for all
times and all places?
