This is often said, but it's unprovable. How long people lived is irrelevant. The only real question is Who, if anyone, was harmed.
One of my great-grandmothers married at 14, and when she died at 84, she left nine children behind (of whom my grandfather was the youngest). If she had any regrets, she never confided them to anyone.
Marriage under the age of 18 was common for many of our great grandparents, and even grandparents. During the early-mid twentieth century, a woman who was not married by their mid twenties was often considered an old hen.
Wasn't meant as proof, it was very common in the old days and their is nothing wrong with it, in and of itself.
