Actually, for the girl to be 15 was already a bit on the late side in rabbinic circles (from what I understand, outside of "rabbinic circles" marriage this young was less common, my guess is for economic reasons).<br /><br />Someone told me (I wish I remember the source) that there was an 18th century joke in Lithuania; why do we say Torah, chuppah and ma'asim tovim by a bris? Because it's in chronological order. Children start to learn Torah, and ma'asim tovim come after bar mitzvah -- but chuppah comes before.Mississippi Fred MacDowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734864605700159687noreply@blogger.com
