In reply to Dragondog (msg # 348):
Yes, you and me couldn't submit someone 13 years old to marriage. But Illyrio Mopatis and Viserys are horrible people, even by standards of ASOIAF. That's what bugs me with how it is played in the show. In books it is done as tragic and creepy stuff, the way Dany was sold. In the show, tragedy came with disgusting level of smut.
Edit: in Westeros there is no legal lower age limit for marriage. Like I said earlier, it is a horrible world for women and girls, but that's the world in which we chose to play.
But I haven't read the books, so those are not part of my frame of reference.
Whether there is no legal age limit for marriage in Westeros doesn't matter. This is not the game where 13 year old girls get married.
