In reply to the discussion: Fox News guest: Seducing 14-year-olds may not have been that unusual 40 years ago [View all]Kilgore
(1,733 posts)49. No clue, so i asked her
According to the wife, who graduated high school in 77, she recalls no girls who became pregnant before they got married. They became pregnant within a year after getting married.
Regarding ages, she recalls the husbands were 21 to 25 and the youngest girl she recalls was 13. From those I met at the reunion, they were still married.
Also just discovered my mother in law was married the day after her 16th birthday when my father-in-law was 25.
I never knew.
