 Here’s a quote from rom the Babylonian (Jewish) Talmud:

Kethuboth 11b:
When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl, it is nothing. 

Was this ‘a thing?’ And if it was, when did it stop, or is it still going? 

Curious

The Babylonian Talmud is a central text of the Jewish tradition, and it is a compilation of rabbinical discussions, debates, and interpretations of Jewish law and tradition.
