    the study classified tobacco addiction as a mental illness

    I'd want to see the full report and have a lot of questions to ask before I would think any of this is valid.

    I believe it.  The early marrriage may not necessarily cause it, but the two are likely caused in part by similar things (poor home life, parents with mental illness, highly emotionally needy, etc.).

    I just a friendly gal looking for options.

    I think the mental illness is there before the marriage.

    ::sits next to Myrtle::

    I can't think of one good reason or situation that makes it appropriate to marry before turning 18.

    mrs. conn - from what I read, I'd guess these folks got married because the girl was pregnant.

    I'd guess that as well. Personally, I do not think being KU'd, no matter your age, is a reason to get married.  Especially if it's the *only* reason.
