I found your post a bit bizarre - for one thing, it's illegal virtually everywhere. Even in the Middle East rare cases of men marrying 11 and 12 year old girls have been prosecuted. In the past? I'm sure it's happened, but I don't think men wore signs on their backs or published memoirs titled "My life as a pedophile."

Financial support is/was probably a lot more common.

>>when pedophiles get married

I've heard of pedophiles attracted to women getting married, but not exclusive pedophiles. Even if she had a ton of daughters it would make no sense and I couldn't see how it could ever last.

>>Arguably marriage is a greater indicator of love/respect.

I call bullshit on that. Why would married people have more love or respect for each other than an unmarried couple, or a pedophile and a child? Marriage is bullshit, swept up by organized religion and now an institution of the state, nothing more than two people signing a piece a paper, examined and filed by bureaucrats. You don't want to be married anymore? Sign a different piece of paper.

On top of which, marriage makes no sense for exclusive pedophiles.

>>pedophiles appear to love grown adult women MUCH much more than, or in place of, any child, with children being the merely frivolous distraction with whom men amuse themselves

I don't know what pedophiles you've been hanging out with.
