They sure did, the age of consent in Medieval Europe was 9, right now it's 14.
When you only live until 30, you don't have time to get a "Master's Degree", you're an old maid at 20.
>When you only live until 30
That is Fake News. The reason the life expectancy was so low was because of a statistical phenomenon caused by so many kids were dying under the age of 5. If they lived past 5 people generally lived into their sixties and seventies.
But girls were still old maids by 20 because 18 is their peak fertility and men back then weren't stupid enough to allow prime pootang to go to waste.
Yes, but nonetheless, death at an early age was common.
With so many children dying, one had to overshoot the mark and that means starting very early, not late.
People also died at 20 and the age of consent was 9.
It's 14 in Europe right now.
Heck, women don't have the time now.
