Well Alexa, in Cleopatra's time, uncle's married nieces, and brothers married sisters. In India during the 1860's girls aged 8 and 9 used to get married. I'm sure there were child marriages in the West as well a long time ago. With time, those societies has progressed and evolved and began to realise that it's wrong; however, small tribes in Aghanistan or Yemen or other secluded poor places did not. If there was no exchange of ideas and opening up with other countries and cultures, how can u expect them to change or evolve like the rest of us? They've been doing this for generations and have not known anything else. I'm not justifying what they're doning, just trying to understand it.
