The blog, apparently written by 12-year-old girl 'Thea', charts her thoughts and feelings towards her impending marriage to 37-year-old Geir.

In one post, the 12-year-old describes how her mother is annoyed at her after she misbehaves, writing: “Think she want me to get my own children soon”, and expressing her fear towards the expectation of sex.

I think it's legal in some US states if the parents give consent. Seriously.

that is true somewhat, but that much different in age and at 12? wasnt' it usually 14-15 and marrying 20 year old or so? Yes now it is definitely unacceptable but a different time then.

Nah. I've heard stories from the old folks that crazy marriages like this happened.

My wife's grandmother was wed at 12. Really common not long ago.
It's cultural not moral.

I'm halfway through Lolita, and you just put an image to the words.
I'm officially weirded out.

My grandmother was 15 when she married my grandfather who was 25, but that was in 1914.
