T 19
§ False securities for intellectual aptitude — Exclusions
1 - for immaturity of age.
If on the ground of age exclusion must have place,
better for overmaturity 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 intert pursued at the expe
of the young -
Men the older they grow the steadier and more
unbending they commonly they are in the pursuit of self-
regarding interest at the expense of the the all-embracing social
interest.
They have children, and acquire other family
connections: the a narrow social interest is thus pursued at
the expense of the all embracing socl. intt.
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 eldest male.
So, by obstructing marriages of inclination, when
not advantageous in respect of property.
It was perhaps it was by the sinister interest rather more 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 it was that gave birth to the arrangements in
the English Marriage Act of 1822 by which the marriages
of minors without consent of parents & guardians were
made voidable.
