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

[Josh Skolnick]

There have been many responses so far implying that a change of outlook is
warranted, which I would agree with, however what should be the outlook.
What I mean by this is do we say that a young child can get married to
anyone, or only to certain people?  How do we view the desire to get married
to a young girl?  How should we view the "restrictive" current society that
doesn't allow these types of marriage?   Where do we draw the line regarding
our attitudes towards derech eretz, meaning do we allow the members of our
society to urinte publicly [though this was never really an issue of halacha
but of proper derech eretz, as opposed to a din from the torah] because in
previous times this didn't take on a negative connotation.
