Can Jehovah's Witness girls have a boyfriend at twelve years old?

Answer 1

No, most Witness parents would not allow their 12 year old child to have a boyfriend. Jehovah's Witnesses believe dating is a precurser for marriage so Jehovah's Witness youths are encouraged to make friends and socialize in groups until they are legally, physically, and spiritually old enough for marriage.

Answer 2

The Bible, which is the foundation of Jehovah's Witnesses, doesn't highlight a specific and definite age, however witness youths are encouraged to wait until after the bloom of youth, this means when they are mature, so this will vary from person to person

Answer 3

At whatever age is locally permissible by civil law .. that is the short answer.
