I am curious about peoples reactions to this situation. I'm talking about any age old enough to be legally married, in some states I know that can be 17.
I for one would want my child to stay in school and would let them both live with me so they didn't have to work. I would continue to pay for my childs schooling and if I had the money I would pay for her husbands as well.
Of course as you get older (and divorced) you learn how hard marriage is and that young people shouldn't be in a rush but at that point do you really compound the problems by making them row their own boat (pay their own bills etc)? At some point parents have to let their children do what their going to do. I remember my parents drove me away in their attempts to shove what they thought was right down my throat.
The divorce rate is over %50 now, thats frightening so I look at just about anyone getting married and think they are incredible optomists, not just really young people.
