So what is the take home message from this story.  It is presented via headline as rape which allows inference of force.  In actually, it would seem the girl was not opposed.  It also appears that the man actually intended to marry the girl.  Even in this country, marriage at very young age was okay a century or more ago.  The standard response is to sentence the man to a lengthy prison term.  But does anyone think about root cause?  Why did this happen and how can similar events be prevented in the future.  How could the parents involved not have seen the developing relationship?  Did the parents or the schools teach the girl about relationships and provide guidance.  The girl apparently went willingly with the man.  Was she counseled by anyone in society about making choices like that?  Perhaps all who contributed to the situation via action or inaction should be held accountable.
