RE: brittany
Hey Britt, thanks for the comment.Basically, women back then were married young because it got them off their parent's hands, who had to pay for food and clothing for them. A wealthy husband would be guaranteed to provide for his wife, something which the woman's family might not be able to do. Also, if a woman was attending a private school, and the family were going through a tough time financially, it would be the woman who was dropped out of school, simply because they would not end up having to provide money for a family when they were older. Thanks again, Group 4.
