It was a different world back then. I remember the debate over the affair and the double standard over it. A lot of people wanted her to be freed because it was love and it was a female in the position of authority (Every guys fantasy and all that). Meanwhile the Male having an affair with a young girl was looked upon with disgust and a throw the book at him mentality.
