Okay, ebohio2008? From an overall standpoint, your article was well written. However, I don't see girls getting married in their teens as necessarily being a bad thing. If someone were to come to me for advice on when is a good time to get married, I would tell them to put it off until their thirties. However, I've known a lot of women throughout my life who have gotten married in their teens, and they lived long, happy, productive lives and raised children to be upstanding members of society. I realize that you were only trying to reiterate information that you researched from government statistics, but I just had to run that thought by you here in my reply. Anyhow, I upvoted your article.
