    This might surprise you, but not all that long ago there were plenty of married (and childrened) 16 year olds. Like, more the rule than the exception.

        And other parts of the world, I’m pretty sure 16 is still the full age of consent in Germany for example.

          Nobody in Germany or any part of Europe is getting married young. 30 being young.

      My mom married my 21 year old dad when she was 16.

      In 2001, my ex gf married her 25 year old boyfriend like a month after she turned 17, which turned into a whole spat of men in their 20’s marrying girls in their teens at my church for about 3 years. It was fuckin gross and predatory and we just sat there and watched it happen. God damn fundamentalism.
