Hmmm …You don't need to be a westerner to have western sensibilities.
If you've watched American movies, surf the internet and can speak english, you've come in contact with such ideas and have been influenced by them.
And it's by no means "basic". For most of history, people married younger than 18 all the time, and there were much bigger age gaps than nowadays.
It really bothers me when people use history as some sort excuse/justification for pedophilia. It is like trying to put lipstick on a pig—it doesn’t change the fact that it’s unacceptable.
Sure, history is essential & can teach us a lot, but it also doesn’t change the fact that time have changed, what might have been accepted or misunderstood in the past doesn’t make it right today.
