Lessee, Juliet (of Romeo fame) was thirteen when we find her mother 
trying to marry her off to a much older Count Paris. Juliet's mother 
tells us that not only was she herself already a wife and mother at 
thirteen but that girls even younger than Juliet were already running 
around barefoot and pregnant. Yet I've never heard anyone suggest Paris 
was a pervert for lusting after young girls.

Autre fois, autre temps.
