Not to many decades removed... girls married
Post# of 51171
removed... girls married at 12-14 in the US. To reach 20 and be unmarried you were considered a spinster...
Prostitution laws in some state, just changed in the last 10-20 years...
Underage women... were considered self contracting or private contractors with consent...above 12.
Still practice in some states out west. That is marriage of children...
That isn't to say it is right...
