IGSD!
This is often implied but my research seems to suggest that it isn't true.
For example, the average age of marriage in Europe between 1200 and 1550 was 25. Occasionally girls got married around 12 but it was never the norm. Girls were useful to their families - either as workers or for looking after younger children.
In the richer families marriages were arranged often when the boy and the girl were still babies but these arranged marriages were often nullified and certainly were not consummated until the coupe, were in their mid-to late teens.

My mum was married at the age of 16 and she had already had three children by the age of 19.
But that was in the 1960's when there was no conception pills for women to stop them becoming pregnant.
i hope l am right about that if not correct me please
Plus if a woman was not married in that era you were frowned apon if you were a single mother.
So alot of mothers who were single would give up there babys.
My mum was lucky because my father stayed with her.

Don't know about down there, but the US FDA approved the pill on June 26, 1960.

The first contraceptive pill became available in Australia in 1961 but at first most doctors refuse to prescribe it to single women. Even in the early to mid-70s single women often felt uncomfortable asking their regular doctors for the Pill and instead would go to a Family Planning Clinic. I always went to the Family Planning Clinic until I was married and I could ask any doctor for it (I was married in 1976).
Exactly. I framed my words carefully. I deliberately said “cuter,” not “hotter” or any word that would imply sexual attraction.
Like I said, a lot of people today just have DIRTY MINDS!!
For women alone or for men and women together?
That was probably for men and women combined.
I did this research several years ago for a project for my library studies course.
However if I remember correctly before the plague hit most men were in their 20s to early thirties while girls were married as young as 14. However it seems that, at least as far as poor girls were concerned, a girl was expected to have had their first period. In medieval times this would have occurred later tha it does for girls today.
After the plague the ages rose and girls were usually 16 or 17 before they married, and were often older. This was because poorer families needed the labour daughters could provide. Also many young girls went into domestic service for several years before getting married and generally they had a fix term of service and could not get married during this time.
Again remembering from the project I did I think the age of marriage for poor/middle class women was about 21 or 22 years of age.
Anne Hathaway, a farmer's daughter, was 25 years of age before she married William Shakespeare in late 16th century.
However, as I previously said, girls from rich families got married earlier many for politically/dynastic reasons. If the girl was really young she might go and live with her husband's family (as Mary Queen of Scots) did but the marriage wouldn't be consummated until the girls was in her mid-teens.

That is not the case. Though lifespans were shorter that was partly due to high mortality in childhood. Once a woman reached 15-16 years she had a reasonable chance of living another 20-25 years i.e the length of her reproductive life (so long as she didn't die in childbirth).
There was little point in marrying early because most girls didn't have their menarche until they were in their mid-teens, Even in the mid 19th century girls weren't reaching their menarche until they were about 16 year old.
Getting married at 13 didn't produce any more children than getting married at 16 or 17.

Posting three times in a row is a sign of the Apocalypse. It's also Spamming. Please don't.
That implies that sex is dirty, which is a rather antiquated idea.
It is if you're doing it right!
