Vidiot - Jeffro was just quoting the bible. It says that! If you rape a girl, pay her dad 250$ in modern money and she is your wife now. That's crazy but real.
Poor girl. Worth $250... And married to her rapist.
Premarital sex--how prevalent?

I think sex was pretty common among teenagers, and I'm sure among older people, too. I had sex as a JW teenager, and I'd say about 75% of the teens I knew (at least) also did.

First somethng needs to be said:
NO ONE HAS AUTHORITY OVER YOUR SEX LIFE...other then your mate... not the elders...not the Shashu god (jehovah)
In the USA/Canada sex-life is free. By law!

I'm pretty sure that there is much more sexual activity that is considered unscriptural going on in the congregations than the bodies of elders are aware of. It probably varies from congregation to congregation but especially among single, young folks I'm sure that some engage in sex outside marriage and then just don't reveal that this occurred even if they continue to be active Jehovah's Witnesses and eventually are given special privileges. Cases like this come up occasionally where the elders are approached by someone with special privileges who has been serving for a decade or more but who committed fornication when young.

I wonder how it compares to post-marital sex?

Most unmarried couples I knew did pretty much everything except have traditional intercourse.

Of course it is no more prevalent than masturbation -
And the Society knows that NOBODY does this at all very often: then they go to the elduhs who say God will forgive them, as long as they were not looking at boobie mags at the time or indulging in depraved fantasies.
Unlawful sex and masturbation are now both DF offences, so people keep their mouth SHUT.

Hamster I agree I dare put it at 90% of dubs have premarial or out of marriage sex at some point. The sad suckers like me are the ones that suffer into their thirties are few and far between. In fact I can bet that no one in the hall believes me when I say I haven't had sex and I wouldn't blame them because so few really obey the edict.
