i gotta likely assume those marriages very often produced kids very quickly... bc contraceptives wouldnt have been used (unless you count the "pull out" method one...
so if we say teen pregnancy isnt normal... im not sure that accurate historically. |
This depends on culture and time period.
But generally, the nobility married earlier than commoners, simply they can afford it. The nobility had nursemaids/governess or other caregiver to take over a lot of maternal duties.
The commoners married later because depends on time period, the father's family paid a dowry, and often the dowry would have cost the household a lot, so it was more advantageous for the girl to stay home and help out.
But what was done in the past doesn't mean it's the correct way.

now... but whether or not i think teens of our days SHOULD be having babies based on their general ability to be able to properly provide for such an offspring (not even taking into account the detrimental effect it may have towards their lives, ie. preventing them from going to school (if they'd wanted to), or forcing them to drop out of, say, highschool) |
modern culture encourages people to pursue education, at least to high school level, to have the basis to be able to function well in society (at least that's the idea)
simply put, society hasn't evolved to the point that a teener can be a proper parent without requiring some sort of assistance from the society
