When the average human life expectancy is in the 20s, getting married at 9 isn't such a stretch, is it? Back in those days, people matured psychologically a lot faster. There was childhood, which was brief, and if you survived to be old enough, you became an adult. Adolescence is a societal construct of the 20th century.

If I had a daughter who was physically and psychologically ready to get married at 9, and she was willing to get married, why would I have a problem with it?
