Hi Anatol,

I was reading some of your other posts which is why I said some of your ideas are extreme.

A 32 year old man marrying a 16 year old woman - yes it's strange. The biology suggests this, the culture doesn't suggest this (and it's not immediately obvious). My view is that this must be a product of evolution and therefore it must have happened in the past and males and females must have adapted to a past culture? It is said that females mature faster than males and this is why females prefer older men.

Consider a culture in which this would happen. If would give time for the male to gain a career and achieve some status where he could support the female.

There are other possibilities and primitive man may have been fairly immoral (some concern with daughters).
