I think in India, marriages are arranged by parents. I do think they use a little more common sense and wait until the girl reaches puberty. I know of an Indian couple in town. The girls parents became American citizens, when she finished college, she married a man from India that was about 35. At least they waited until the girl got her education. Both live here now. Girl was 2 when her parents immigrated here, got their educations, and became successful businesspeople locally. She was as American as apple pie, but she went by her parents arrangement. Guy she married speaks good English and manages a local motel, and he is good to her. He also told me he hates Muslims. Said in India they always were the ones to start fights and wars.
