My childrens grandmother (father's mom) was 14 when she married their grandfather who was 26. I suppose that was natural for back then; but now that would be considered a pedophile. I saw their marriage license myself so it is not a lie.
Old tradition Chinese culture has adopt girl age 10-12 for their son, let them know each other and family culture… and still have to wait until girl turn 16 to officially marry.
This was Kentucky culture. She wore the pants and told how things would be in their marriage and they stayed married. He died at age 71 and she died about 5 years ago. She was in her 80's I believe. None of her daughter-in-laws could get along with her as she thought she knew more than us. We could do nothing right in that womans' eyes. May she RIP.
My uncle marriage was arranged marriage and his wife was 16, don’t know much about other example but they look fine with their marriage, no divorce. Just family broken when their daughter in law totally different than them… That was culture as well, and girl can’t attend school…
Yes. I've heard of marriages being arranged here and in other countries. My husband's uncle had an arranged marriage. He lived in Staten Island NY and was a bit 'slow' in mind due to having water on his brain at birth. His father and his wife's father were friends and played a lot of card games together so one night while playing, his wife's father spoke up about how her being a 'plain' woman and having no marriage prospects would do good marrying his son. So that's how they got married. They lived to a ripe old age together but never had any children.
