    Marriage was above all a contract between two families/clans/whatever for most of human history, and indeed still is in most of the world. "Marrying out of love" is a pretty novel thing and chiefly confined to "the West", although that's changing; though if the divorce rates (wherever it's an option) are to judge by, overall works only marginally better... (although personally I feel that people should make their own mistakes in this regard )

    Anyway, since the game doesn't model most of the reasons (political and economic) that usually got young girls married off to old farts, and I prefer being able to "develop" my generals and governors for a good long while, the Ancient Pedobears get shown the door.

    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
