§§ False securities for intellectual aptitude - Exclusions-
1- for immaturity of age.
If on the ground of age exclusion must have place, better for
overmaturiy than for immaturity: better the aged than the young.
The young have no sinister interest pursued at the
expense of the aged.
The aged have a sinister interest pursued at the
expense of the young.
Men the older they grow the steadier and more
unbending they commonly are in the pursuit of self
regarding interest at the expense of the all-embracing
social interest.
They have children, and acquire other family connections:
a narrow social interest is this pursued at the expense of the
all-embracing social interests.
Among the opulent, the advanced in years who have
or have not children or quasi-children are more intent
upon keeping up the importance of the family
by sacrificing the pecuniary means of all younger
children of both sexes to one oldest male.
So, by obstructing marriages of inclination, when
not advantageous in respect of property.
It was perhaps by the sinister interest rather than
by any consideration of social and all-embracing prudence
that the exclusion was suggested.
It was by this self-regarding and narrow
social interest that gave birth to the arrangement in
the English Marriage Act of 1822 by which the marriages
of minors without consent of parent and guardians
were made voidable.
