Here are some examples of European Aristocracy and Royalty from https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_child_brides&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi9kuzrtoKMAxVMFlkFHUt8Fr4QFnoECDIQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw3cK4fUQ3ImvKPK9ncdRPcW  
**1-Gisela of France (**%%**aged about 5**%%**)** was married to the much older Rollo in 911.  
  
**2-Matilda of Boulogne (%%aged 9%%)** was married to Henry I, Duke of Brabant (aged about 14), in 1179.  
  
**3-Marie of Ponthieu (%%aged 9)%%**, was married to Simon of Dammartin (aged 27/28) in 1208.  
  
4-**Marie of Évreux (%%aged 7/8%%)** was married to John III, Duke of Brabant (aged 10/11), in 1311.  
  
**5- Elizabeth de Badlesmere** (%%**aged 3**)%% was married to Edmund Mortimer (aged about 13/14, possibly younger) in 1316.  
  
**6-Anne de Mowbray, 8th Countess of Norfolk** (%%**age 6)**%%, was married to Richard of Shrewsbury, 1st Duke of York (age 4), in 1477.  
  
**7-Infanta Mariana Victoria of Spain (aged 10)** was married to José, Prince of Brazil (aged 14), in January 1729. She had previously been engaged at the age of 3 to her first cousin the 10-year-old Louis XV of France.  
  
**%%8-Maria Pia of Savoy (aged 14)%%** was married to Luís I of Portugal (aged 23) in October 1862  
  
I think we can all agree that regardless of historical era, ages of 3, 5, 7, 8, is unjustifiable  especially,  
because I have never heard a 3 or 5 year old girl capable physiologically of becoming pregnant.  
  
**Now to demonstrate the almost unfathomable Ignorance of criticizing the Prophet of Islam ( PEACE AND BLESSINGS UPONN HIM).**  
  
Do you know that a significant number of our USA allow children to marry: The youngest wedded were three 10-year-old girls in Tennessee  
who married men aged 24, 25 and 31 in %%2001%% (serial marriages) The youngest groom was an 11-year-old who married a 27-year-old woman  
in the same state in %%2006%%.  
  
Children as young as 12 were granted marriage licences in Alaska, Louisiana and South Carolina, while 11 other states allowed 13-year-olds to wed.  
  
And the American Child Brides were not Heads of State or Royalty, who  are known to have had much higher life expectancy  
\----------------  
CONCLUSION  
Modern historians claim that the average life expectancy in the post industrial and medieval word was Era Years Average Life Expectancy

Neolithic Age 10,000–4500 BC 28–33 years

Bronze Age 3300–1200 BC 28–38 years

Ancient Greece and Rome 510–330 BC 20–35 years

Early Middle Ages 476–1000 AD 31 years

Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica 1175–1520 AD 24–32 years

Late Medieval Period 1300–1500 AD 30–33 years

Early modern Britain 1450–1750 AD 33–42 years

Industrial Age 1760–1860 AD 38–44 years  
  
So in the 1300-1500 Period, average life expectancy reanged from 30 tom33 years of age.  
In this historical context, when would you have people marry? Perhaps after death?
