[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again I say, 100 years ago it was probably normal for a girl to be married with at least 1 child by age 13 or 14.[/quote] No, it never was. Only among the elites was it something that was done for inheritance and alliance reasons. Rare among normal folks.[/quote] The average age of puberty used to be older than it is now. It more usual for girls to start their period at age 15 or 16.[/quote] 100 years ago is 1918. In 1920, the median age of first marriage for women was 21.2 and for men was 24.6. (Median means that half were older than the median age and half were younger.) In 1890, it was even older: 22.0 and 26.1. https://www.census.gov/population/socdemo/hh-fam/tabMS-2.pdf The year of youngest median age of first marriage is 1955: 20.2 for women and 22.6 for men.[/quote]
