I do genealogy. I’ve gone back a few hundred years on some lines – I have found *very few* girls who were married before 19 or 20, and many young men who were in their 20′s. So, commonality of getting married at 14 or 15, or even 16, in the 1700′s or 1800′s, is a myth. I can think of only two or three marriages out of over a hundred I’ve documented where that was the case.
