Hey letās destroy the pernicious myth that preteens were regularly marrying in medieval and early modern Europe and were having children as young teenagers. Itās just not true. Church records show the typical age people got married was around 18-23. Sure, around a third of brides were pregnant at the time of their marriage, but premarital sex was actually completely fine in medieval and early modern Europe if the couple intended to marry. (Oh look! Another historical fact the Victorian period completely mangled!)
Very young girls were not having babies in medieval times, people. The only people who ever bring this non-fact up are paedophiles looking to defend their dangerous paraphilia. So cut it out. Stop spreading this myth. Itās not historical, itās not factual, itās not true.
By the way the texts in support of these facts are here and here.
āEmerging evidence is eroding the stereotype of medieval child marriage. Goldberg and Smithās work on low- and lower-middle-status women has refuted Hajnalās argument for generally early marriage for medieval women. Even Raziās āearlyā age at marriage for girls in Halesowen hardly indicates child marriage, as a large portion of his sample married between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two⦠. Ā Goldberg has offered evidence from fourteenth and fifteenth-century Yorkshire showing that urban girls tended to marry Ā in their early to mid twenties and rural girls married in their late teens to early twenties, and both groups married men who were close to them in age.ā (Kim M. Phillips, Medieval Maidens: Young Women and Gender in England, c. 1270-1540, p. 37 (x).
Bolded for emphasis.
Iāve said it before and Iāll say it again: the only people in the middle ages who married before their late teens/early adulthood were aristocrats, because their marriages were treaties between their respective families. An middle-class or poor womanās dowry might be three pigs or a crate of apples - a noblewomanās dowry might be six villages and the right to use a port (or a goddamn country).Ā
And even when an aristocratic couple were married at nine, it was understood thatĀ āmarriedā andĀ āhaving sex and having babiesā were not synonymous, as noble and royal couples were expected to wait until both were grown up before the marriage was consummated.
Yep. 12 was the minimum legal age for consummation for girls, 14 for boys. In most cases, however, going by the dates of first children in any given marriage, it seems that husbands rarely pressed this and had the common sense and decency to wait until she was physically fully grown - apart from everything else, childbirth is dangerous enough for adult women, let alone for kids.
As with anything there are exceptions: a notable one was the case of Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII (Henry Tudor). She was married at age 12 to Edmund Tudor. The Wars of the Roses had just broken out, everything was politically very dicey and dangerous and she was of a very valuable bloodline, so from that point of view perhaps it makes sense that Edmund pressed his legal marital right. From his point of view it was the right decision: he died a year later, leaving her pregnant with Henry Tudor. Both mother and child almost died, and she never conceived again. Which is precisely why everybody knew it was not a good idea.
And yes, non-aristocrats generally married much later, including into their twenties and thirties - and women often remarried, frequently preferring younger men, because by that stage many women had a fairly well established household/income and could therefore pick and choose to please themselves. (Hello, Wife of Bath!)Ā
Pre-marital sex in theory was frowned upon, but in practice not really so long as it got legitimised at some point. And the technicalities ofĀ ālegitimateā arenāt so formal as youād think: though there was pressure from the church to involve a priest at some point for the purpose of social recognition, technically by canon law all you needed was for each of the parties to freelyĀ sayĀ āI take theeā. Scholars differed on whether or not this had to be followed by consummation to be binding, but as a rule the church might well dissolve a union on appeal if the exchange of words had not been followed by consummation, or if it was proved that one or both parties were coerced into it (eg, by family pressure). Free and willing consent was very important.Ā
So basically, since all you needed for marriage was the consent of both parties and consummation, in many cases pre-martial sex was probably more-or-less marital sex in any case, especially once you get a degree of social recognition, the couple starts living together, etc. The pressure in the later Middle Ages and the Early Modern period to have an actual wedding at an actual church door (ie, in the foyer - you then go inside for mass once the wedding ceremonyās happened) was more about having the union formally witnessed by the social group and acknowledged by families than about legal requirements - plus of course the local priest always has an excellent reason to say sternly that it isnāt real unless God has witnessed it, because he gets a marriage fee out of it. ;)
tl;dr: yes, technically consummation at age 12 was occasionally a thing but only in extreme circumstances amongst the aristocracy, most people were much more sensible about sex and age, and also anybody using the middle ages to justify paedophilia is creepy and needs to be denied all access to modern medicine and just given a box of leeches and the equipment for testing their own urine.

She wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell.
Nikita Gill (via wordsnquotes)
Roses are red, And violets are blue, Sugar is Sweet That much is true
But flowers are transient Food turns to dust And my heart is craving More formalized troth
Woo me with Winters Held fast, far from snow Sing, in the Summer Of me,Ā āere you go
Ply me with laughter In memory, dress That for hours you And I may wander, yet
Red is the rose, dear But the sky is so bright I want so much more from you Than sweetness, tonight
