Not for nothing, but she was supposedly gestating a child that was immaculately conceived, thus no sex was had... thus, not really related to sexual contact with minors.
That's what a Christian would say, anyway.
- fr0sty 13y agoIn the interests of correctness, that's a (rather common) misunderstanding of the phrase "immaculate conception". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception "The Immaculate Conception should not be confused with the perpetual virginity of Mary or the virgin birth of Jesus; it refers to the conception of Mary by her mother, Saint Anne."
- rada 13y agodclowd's point was that no sex was had to conceive Jesus, which is correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception#Virginal_conception https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception#Virginal...
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoSo marrying at 13 is fine as long as you don’t consummate the marriage until you’re 18? I haven’t met many Christians who feel that way. Most of the time, the rationale is ’those were different times, it was normal then’.
- cobrausn 13y agoI don't think so, at least not if they actually read the New Testament. I remember very little of it, but I do remember it mentioning that Joseph did not 'know' her until after she gave birth. Pretty sure that means they didn't wait another 5 years to consummate their marriage.
