A well known fact is that in previous history, people married very young, simply because we didn’t live that long. During the 1800′s it was not uncommon for people to marry in their mid-teens; in the 1400′s you got married as young as 12 ( A boy was considered a man, a girl was a woman as soon as she had her first menstrual cycle), something that was extremely common but would be viewed as scandalous in America today. (Currently, Muslim girls can marry at age 12.) Over 50 countries allow marriage at 16, including the United States. Some states
require parental permission while others do no
