>>11914665depends on the genetics, nationality/environment etc. you cannot simply label the true mental and physical preparedness off of a law and disregard common sense factors.
18 is a few years past the average ago to concieve... thats why its 18 so people dont fuck it up.
the reason 15 is not mentally prepared is because there is propaganda that having a family is simply not the right thing to do, even while an adult. its a shame we live in a society where having a child is viewed as a burden rather than a pure gift. maybe if this wasnt the consensus and people were more supportive of actual psychology and development, they would be mentally prepared.
but because there is a propaganda convincing billions of people that having kids is the wrong thing to do, that you are mebtally incapable until a legally determined age, of course this will cause doubt in many teenagers.
