When I was about 9 or so, there was a neighbor girl who "had" to get married. I didn't really understand what the meant at the time. I was told by a friend that she was going to have a baby. I told her that that was impossible. You had to be married first to have a baby. In my young mind, marriage definitely came first. It was *impossible* to become pregnant without marriage.
