For the people concerned about him marrying such a young woman...people didn't live long back then and a woman marrying in her 30s, which is the norm now, would have been seen as very strange. I know someone will come along and say "that doesn't justify it" but you're using presentism and again ignoring the fact that people died young, and you tried to have as many kids as you could before it got more dangerous to your body to do so. Yeah it sucks, but people had to adapt. I in no way think that sort of thing should happen nowadays. Our healthcare is much better and we also know that a woman's pelvis isn't fully stable until your late teens early 20s.
