Not that young.
My maternal grandparents married when he was 25 and she was 15. They raised 8 kids during the Great Depression. Not the easiest life, but they were happily married until the day he died. She outlived him by 23 years.

My wife was engaged at age 16 to a 22 year old man. It was no big deal back then. He bought her a lovely diamond ring. He had a good job and loved her and was always respectful to her.
Just odd to think of her being a teen wearing a big ole diamond ring to school and doing homework and other teen stuff.
They never married but remained friends. My wife absolutely loves his wife and thinks the world of her.

Oh ok, so I guess the good folks of TD will no longer bring up Muhammad marrying a child when bashing Islam then ehh?

Also, at that time they viewed the stages of growth differently. Today we view the ages of pre-teens to 18-21 as a transition between childhood and adulthood. This is a rather modern concept from the 20th century. Before that once a child was old enough to work, they were no longer viewed as a child. This was especially true in poor, rural areas
Really just more pussification of the Western world.

My grandparents were 14 and 16 when they got married. Still married today, 76 years together. He’s 92 and she turns 90 in a few weeks
50 years is an amazing milestone, 75 is fricking crazy. That's pretty awesome.

Lots of the illegals from Mexico and South America marry their teenage daughters off to 25 and 30 year old guys in Texas. Practices like this are why Hispanics in Texas had the worst graduation rates for years. Kids just move out and start playing adult.
