Generally speaking, when people ask if you have a practical reason to believe something, the implication is that you're being invited to share whatever reason you might have, not simply to answer the question with "yes."

Generally speaking, when somebody is playing dumb to advance a disingenuous argument, sometimes I need to point out the obvious.

And if you're going to tack on inferences like this, you definitely need to present your reasoning, as well as debunking at least one or two of the most obvious counterpoints to your attempted conclusion (most notably, the fact that much of history in many cultures - both historical and extant - has granted considerable value to the ability to offer a "pure" woman for marriage).

I forgot that in adjl land things just happen for no reason and that under adjl logic the burden of proof is on the person who isn't advancing the absurd claim.

Which in adjl land just originated in a vacuum and had no basis in regards to human emotion or the significance attached therein.
