I’m a mathematician so I’ll give you a free lesson: 13 is less than 16. So in a thread discussing Disney and the historic attitudes of people towards a 16 year old marrying, saying that it was inappropriate for a 13 year old in a Shakespeare play is immaterial to the discussion.
9Yeah those 3 years really demonstrate how the myth of ''they married young in the past'' can't possibly be a myth.
Average marrying age in 1950 was 20. Well after high school, and there's plenty of scandals documented of middle aged or old men marrying teens that drew responses of shock and moral outrage.
Most scholarship on this said the mid 20s is when views in the US shifted to viewing teenagers marrying as morally wrong.
When talking about a lower bound on something, the only information one can directly infer from the statement “13 is too low” is “any number below 13 is also too low.” If you’re arguing that “13 is too low” implies “16 is too low” then ditto 19, 22, 25. It’s an absurd argument.
