Re: Courtney Strodden, 16 married to 51 year old man...
It came up in some kind of ABC news interview late last week, which seems to have pushed it back to the fore. I hadn't heard about it before.
I totally believe that the guy didn't realize by looking at her that she's as young as she is. That said, 51 and 23 would still be... extreme.
I don't know these people, it really ought to be their business and I hope they're as happy as they can be for as long as it lasts. I remember reading that Frank Sinatra went into his marriage to Mia Farrow with a very realistic attitude toward it, telling friends that it wouldn't last because of the age difference. Don't know how Farrow felt about it, but they apparently remained friends throughout his life.
