PM me for some turkey and gravy . <| sep |> Pano ba malalaman ? Baka kasi ganun lang talaga sya . <| sep |> This is a mistake that i see a lot of people make today . With globalization many people are realizing that social norms and taboos can greatly differ from one culture to another . And some fall into the mistake of ethnocentrism , by mistaking their own cultural standards as absolute rules and critiquing cultural practices of others that don ' t match their own . Different cultures around the world and throughout human history have had different norms on what period is acceptable to get married at . Whenever someone makes an objective criticism on what the correct age should be , they have really just based their opinion on their own personal upbringing . Different societies will differ over what actions and practices are ultimately beneficial and what actions are harmful , and they will form these decisions based on their own context . That being said , i don ' t know Mali . I ' m pretty sure there are girls being unfairly taken advantage of like this and we should find it averse . But my point is that age argument alone doesn ' t work . For example , i know of a tribe i forget the name of country where all the boys and girls would get married before the age of 15 . It may seem odd to us but this is normal for them and ingrained in their society . Children are groomed for adulthood much earlier in certain contexts , especially in those societies that don ' t share the same educationcareer structure we have in the West . One criticism of Western culture is that this never happens and people are generally caught in a state of arrested development or maturity for the rest of their lives . Furthermore , the institution of marriage itself has constantly fluctuated . m a r riagechangedovercenturies The idea of marriage as a sexually exclusive , romantic union between one man and one woman is a relatively recent development . Betrothals among nobility for the sociopolitical purposes of unifying tribes was common and for the lower class the purpose of marriage was often the production of heirs or for financial security .
