I think marriage under 21 is pretty unwise… with exceptions of course. Under 18 is ridiculous.Not legal in my country. it happened years ago often to preserve family ties (aristocracy) or to counteract high infant mortality, peoples lifespan was in general shorter. I do realise you’re probably joking or deliberately posting rage bait (trying to wind people up as we say in UK) but just in case you’re serious I’ll reply seriously.
Ideally a women should get married in her prime (17-22). Not only is it prudent for the women it was always done throughout history in every civilisation except for the past 500 so years in protestant areas.
This isn't rage bait, it is simply facts. Even Aristotle said the ideal marriage age was ~18 for the ladies, even girls in his time getting married around 15.
Also the age of marriage in most western countries is 14-16 depending on where you live, with the parents consent. So unless you live in worst Korea (south) it's not illegal.
Lifespan wasn't shorter in the past, it's just that infant death was higher so the average is lower, but you were expected to live past 50 if you survived childhood. Even scripture in the psalm says the life of a man is 70-80 years.
So no it's not just the aristocracy, but even commoners got married young (females) because people weren't brainwashed by Jєωιѕн propaganda on women. They understood fallen female nature even if they didn't have Christ. As well as the importance of the male being older and ready to provide.
I'm really amazed with how so many 'trads' live in modern world just assuming all these propaganda points are true when all the historic and biological evidence says otherwise. It's honestly unreal. Must be a side effect of boomer delusion.
