Is there any clear point though at which clothing becomes lacking in modesty?

I think that a lot of this comes down to this being in a different time and
place (ie. cultural norms you talked about).  If you have a society with a
shorter lifespan (although I'm not sure if this was the case in Mohammed's
time), if makes a bit of sense for marriage to take place at an earlier age.

Right now it's generally required that people finish high school, but, if the
average lifespan is was 25 - 40 (as it has been in certain times and places),
would such an educational policy make sense?

I sometimes wonder why in a country where abortion is legal for teenagers (often
even without even the requirement of parental consent), marriage isn't.
