Was it mean by Elrond? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think many of you are missing an important point. When Elrond says, "You shall neither have a wife, nor bind any woman to you in your troth, until your time comes and you are found worthy it," he is foretelling. He is not making up the rule. It is a fact that exists and he is simply pointing it out. So he is not being mean and selfish as some of you say. Remember, Elrond had a knack for seeing the future. This is one of those cases.
