<br><br>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.<br>
