Section " about half of all women aged 15 to 50 years of age were married at any given time while the other half were widows or spinsters" does not seem to be possible. This says that 100% of women 15-50 were married, widowed, or past the age at which marriage is possible. The existence of spinsters at all leaves the possibility that women could and would remain unmarried.
There is a reference for this but its not especially helpful.
I would find a section on "biblical marriage" or even "sharia marriage" useful, since societal rules have long been greatly influenced by our bible thumpers or koran thumpers who tout a "correct" definition of marriage, even though Jesus and Paul never married, Mohammed was no proper example, and the Bible is replete with marriages, like Job's and those of the patriarchs that do not resemble modern marriages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.26.203.135 (talk) 18:15, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Although John Hajnal himself was stridently anti-fascist and a survivor of the Holocaust, his theory has been warmly received and heavily promoted by Neo-Nazis, and the alt-right.[9][10]"
I fail to see how this is relevant in anyway whatsoever. It sounds like an attempt to suppress the idea by shaming people with the association. Also "warmly received" and "heavily promoted" are loaded, emotional terms. I thought Wikipedia was supposed to offer a dispassionate, neutral viewpoint. The "Neo-Nazis, and the alt-right" liking an idea or not is immaterial to the validity of the idea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.55.181.212 (talk) 13:06, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@78.55.181.212 Yeah, it's an example of the typical progressive moralizing we see subtly sprinkled over potentially politically contentious articles, that Wikipedia is officially supposed to not have. I'll try to remove it again, I hope it won't be reverted by some self-righteous high-ranking zealot commissar. Ulfarr Vargr (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
