As in the above, Haman didn't marry and have kids with Judau- he didn't even return her affections. So that comparison falls completely flat.
Youger celebrities, or any people of age getting married to older men isn't an issue either.
16 year olds getting married to old guys and having their babies is what we're taking issue with.
Do you hear about that happening today? Sure- in unpleasant, illegal, forced marriage or poverty and lack of education or third world contexts.
How many happy, well-adjusted, independent and married teen moms with spouses much older than them do you know? Very few to none, I'd think.
It's odd. Then again, everything in this novel is odd, it's impossible to take seriously anymore, this is just one more weird thing.
Oh well...
