36. Seriously?

You're defending a man who says men should marry 15-year-old girls rather than waiting until they're (gasp) 20, and the reason is that by the time they're 20 all they want to do is "pick your pockets"?

So I guess he'd tell the girls in his family -- if there were any -- that they should marry boys of 15, rather than waiting until they're 20, because by the time they're 20 "they're only after one thing". Right? (of course not -- it's only girls who need to be plucked when young, so they can be controlled)

YOU'RE DEFENDING THIS SHIT?
