What was Rukmini& #39;s age when Krishna married her?
Skanda Mahapurana: She was Eight-years-old
Srimad-Bhagavata Purana: Her breasts were just "budding"
Brahma-vaivarta Mahapurana: She just attained puberty on the day Krishna had sex with her some time after the marriage.

Interestingly, Srimad Bhagavtam, the primary text of the Vaishnava sect of Krishna worship, NOT ONCE mentions the name "RADHA" as a person. The Brahmavaivarta Mahapuranam composed about the same period is full of Krishna-Radha rasa leela though. https://twitter.com/AnaMyID/status/927481345902764034">https://twitter.com/AnaMyID/s...
Krishna & Rukmini had 10 kids. First son Pardyumna married his uncle Rukmi& #39;s daughter. Rukmini& #39;s grandson(Pradyumna& #39;s son) Aniruddha married Rukmi& #39;s granddaughter; during post-marriage festivities Rukmi hosted a gambling game, Balarama murdered Rukmi cos he thought he was cheated
Hindu right wing site IndiaFacts quotes "The Wisdom of Puranas", specifically The Brahma Vaivarta Purana:
"Cow sacrifices were Dharmic in ancient India but not recommended in Kali Yuga"
From "A Case for Cow-Protection without Whitewashing the Past" http://indiafacts.org/case-cow-protection-without-whitewashing-past/">https://indiafacts.org/case-cow-...

For the occasion of Rukmini& #39;s marriage, Rukmi tells his father to invite guests, and SLAUGHTER COWS, sacrifice animals, COOK PLENTY OF MEAT... and as an afterthought he adds "also cook vegetables".

Rukmini sat on her father& #39;s lap when she was given away in marriage to Krishna—Brahma Vaivarta Purana Krishna Janma Kanda
In present day India, this practice is still followed by some Brahmins, earlier child brides..but now an adult is made to sit on father& #39;s lap during marriage

Lord Krishna& #39;s eldest & most celebrated son Pradyumna (Rukmini& #39;s first child) was abducted as a baby by a rakshasa named Sambara. Sambara& #39;s wife Mayavati who never had kids raised him. When he grew up Pradyumna killed Sambara & married Mayavati, a woman older than his own mother.
Krishna& #39;s adolescent son Pradyumna was touched inappropriately by an older woman named Mayavati who practically raised him. He says: "Why do you indulge in feelings so unbecoming of a mother?". He later marries her.
