My paternal grandparents had an arranged marriage. They had never met until the day they were married. My grandmother was 12 and my grandfather was 16. After the ceremony they went home with their families and the next day my grandfather sailed from Italy to NYC. Two years later my grandmother followed. They were together for fourteen years before they had the first of their five children.

Susan's grandmother Anita Evelyn Rigali was born 9 Mar 1907. She married 1 February 1921, New York, to Joseph Vincent Criscione, born 25 November 1901. Her son Robert was born 12th May 1921, conceived abt Aug 1920, when she was 13 years 5 months old. She was married at 13 years 11 months and gave birth to her first child at 14 years 2 months. Susan's mother was born 15th April 1923, when Anita was 16 years and 1 month old. Joseph was 18 years 9 months when Anita got pregnant, 19 years 3 months when they got married and 19 years 6 months when Robert was born. They would have lied about his age on the wedding certificate as 21 years was considered an adult. If both were under age, both parents would have had to have given consent. So Joseph was 5 years 4 months older than Anita. STILL huge when considering a 13 1/2 year old with an 18 1/2 year old.

She says that her grandfather was six years older than her grandmother. Check that math again. If her grandfather was 21 and her grandmother was 13 (not 15, as the marriage registry shows), then he was eight years older than her. That's a significant difference at that age! She was just a child herself, who had lost her own mother at age 9, and pregnant by a 21 year-old man. Likely not choice in the matter, she was married and had the baby three months later, and another child relatively quickly. No wonder she ran away! Babies having babies is rarely a happy situation.

​@@Jessica-dd8xo She was 13 and he was 18, they were less than 6 years apart and both were minors by the law of the time, which is why they both lied about their date of birth. For those times the two were considered practically the same age, an eighteen year old was not seen as too old for a thirteen year old, more than anything else he was seen as too young to take care of a wife and child and therefore if an engagement was welcomed it was not considered a good idea to marry. But she was without a mother, with her father always at work and forced to take care of the house and siblings, she probably didn't feel like a child and she certainly wasn't treated like a child. In those times it was normal for girls in those situations to seek an escape route and love in marriage, they felt alone and exploited and therefore they married young and in a hurry in the hope of having a better life. As far as we know, the pregnancy may even have been intended to force their parents to accept marriage, once it happened often, (in Italy, where Anita's family came from, young couples often ran away together and used their pregnancies to get married with whom they wanted, escaping marriages of convenience and difficult family situations). Unfortunately Anita ran away from a family life that she hated to another type of family mirroring the previous one, where she would continue to be "only" a mother and a cleaner, and therefore in the end she left everything and everyone to seek the freedom she wanted. But in all this we must not forget that Susan's grandfather was also very young, yet he worked hard, did not abandon his children when his wife ran away and raised them all giving them the best he could given his situation. Susan's grandparents were both very young and children of their times, looking at the past with modern eyes is not right, it does not give the exact picture of a situation and creates many unnecessary misunderstandings that distort the history of our ancestors.

My aunt had OI -Osteogenesis imperfecta her father had a tricycle made for her without the pedals. She was able to push it with her feet. She was able to get herself around and walk the dog and keep up with her personal hygiene. This might be an idea for this guy.

My grandmother married at age 15 to a man 12 years older.

[@joecastillo4884]

Susan is 76. How old is her mother?

[@puggedpoetry129]

I think her mother passed away a few years ago at the age of 96. Not sure when this was filmed.

This was filmed in 2010

Life expectancy was about 54 in1920. That might have factored in to early marriages. But there was obviously a lot of people taking advantage of children as well.

[@patriciahenderson5898]

Chorus line maybe?!

[@pearlfeather9326]

People were more mature at earlier ages in those days. They were ready to take on redponsibilities of a family. My grandmother got married at 15 ...no one questioned it. Here in amerika everyone is taught to be immature well into their 40s and beyond

That’s sad she was still a child and Republicans wants to go bag and create laws that girls from 12 years old can get married 🤦🏻‍♀️😳

They mentioned, her moms parents were from Italy...the age of consent in Italy is 14...unfortunately...to this day. So I'm guessing it was much younger then.

[@Kate-qq3ez]

Legal age for wedding is 18. With agreement of the court could be 16 but not 14. It is btw forbidden by European Union.

[@jiovanna4136]

@@Kate-qq3ez I'm from Italy? I know the age consent is 14 years to 16 years. But 14 is illegal age in my country.
