Yeah there's nothing with the system they have in feudal times with the extended family, except when parents try to arrange marriages that is very disgusting, or when some pedo tries to push his luck just because there isn't a set rule. But that's why we have an age requirement, problem solved.
I guess you're talking about the Catholic Church when you say marriage didn't come in to rather late? Because its a big thing with Protestants like myself (except for the Shakers but you've got to love them). And if you want to talk about my country, marriage was common in the Celtic Church, even for the clergy, ever since it came to British soil.
