* DontShootTheMessage: While there’s no excuse for this lurid exploitation film about it, [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States child marriage laws]] are in fact a serious issue in the United States to this day, with several states allowing children to be legally married with no minimum age. Many activists are working to get this fixed, [[AndThatsTerrible for obvious reasons]].

* ValuesDissonance: Say what you will about the attitudes of the time, it's also worth noting that the reason this movie could be made at all was the very lack of laws against child marriage that this film claimed to be decrying. (Under today's laws, it would be very difficult to stage that "courting" shot of an adult kissing a preteen full on the lips for a movie now. It would most likely have to be done with the adult and preteen posing separately in front of green screens and being edited together in post-production. That's if the market permitted such a controversial scene to be portrayed at all.)

* FanDumb: Yes, for people out there who have actually seen the film in its entirety, they claim that the nudity featuring an ''underage girl'' isn't a bad thing. Never mind that Child Bride is explicitly an exploitation film and the nudity doesn't add anything and has little relevance to anything resembling a "plot" or "character development."
* HateDumb: Yes, those who hate this movie may be making too big a deal out of the nudity. In plain fact, the story itself is ''intended'' to be rather revolting, as particularly in the "courting" scene. The skinny-dipping scene establishes both that Bolby is a pervert, and that Jennie's starting to adopt the teacher Carol's values as her own (to Freddie's chagrin). As oldsters born in the era this movie was made can attest, [[ValuesDissonance a lot of people didn't consider kids' skinny-dipping to be any big deal]], though some would have thought poorly of anyone for recording such activities in a movie.
