Early Marriages
In the past, we had marriages that we judge as early, around 13 or 14 years old, although generally in the past marriages typically occurred after the age of 18. At that time, menarche occurred around 14 years old when the body was ready for pregnancy, as would be natural. Today, however, it has been advanced considerably, perhaps due to too many estrogens in the diet, which may have also reduced male fertility. So today we have female fertility occurring too early and marriage being pushed further and further into later years, almost touching menopause.
