Like the Orange Buffoon.

In the 70s I was in the south, and was shocked to learn of girls of 16 getting married. And girls turning 20 feeling like they were aging out.

The husbands were young too, at least. There was a 20 year old junior at the college, and he was married to a 16-year-old girl who lived back home.

A freshman had a 32 year old boyfriend back home.

In other words, they may not see this as bad as we do.
