I mean, she wasn’t really clever at school but I always thought it was bad that they didn’t encourage her to do better.

They only went to Scotland to get married – then they could come back as husband and wife! :-)

I can’t imagine a fuitina in Scotland… ;-)

“b) that my parents, for the way they treated her, deserved it (to some extent) ”

why?!

In the UK, in the past, couples would elope to a place called Gretna Green (just inside Scotland) as it was easier to get married there (Scotland and England have different laws).

However, in this case, not only is she 15 (and, therefore, under age – a minor) but he also married last year! In this case, if they get caught, he will be in prison for sure.

I’m pretty sure my sister was a minor too but I’m really not 100% certain.

It’s outdated now though, as far as I can tell.
