Yeah... but at least in some cases (like to think most?) they'd simply be betrothed until old enough to marry...
But, what I find most disturbing about this sort of thing is that a 12 year old's body (while perhaps scientifically capable of reproduction) really just isn't built to handle childbirth... I remember how small my hips were when I was 12 (wistful sigh) and I can guarantee you there's no way my 8lb 2oz son wouldn't have killed me... had to wait until my 'child bearing hips' came in... and even then I still ended up an emergency C-section... so to purposely breed a CHILD who is NOT finished growing into the woman they will be... just asking for problems.
