nothing wrong with their ages!
back then marriage at thirteen was ok. Think about it, you died by 40 so you had to have kids before you got the plague or something. And there were alot of miscarriages back then too. Not mention you might have to try several times to get a boy and keep your family name. So it makes perfect sense for juliet to marry so young. She's gotta have like 8 kids or something so if its nine months a kid, shes got to get started early!

this is a great post. you are right because they did live short so they needed to get started. and they were in love so i think it was okay for them to get married!!!!
Yeah that is good point but think of quality not quantity. If you waited until she was 17 you would have healthier babies and less miscarriages. When your 17 or 18 you can still have a lot of children before you die at 40. If Juliet had a child every year and she started at 18 until 30 she could have 12 children.
lol you guys are crazy to think everyone only lived till 40...and having over 10 kids sounds a little crazy too they would start walking out after that, lol
Well I was just saing 40 because "BRYCE" said that and I based my responce off that. If she lives longer then great but eventually she will run out of eggs. Also back in the old days people would have lots of kids. Me and my brothers were talking about it today when we all did yard work. If my parents only had one child then I would have to alot more work and so would my dad or my dad would have to pay someone to do the stuff we were doing. If my dad had 12 kids then we wouldn't have any trouble at all. We could get my yard work done alot faster. Also they alot of kids then because they didn't have modern medicine at the time to keep them well so having alot of kids would increase the chance of carrying on the family name.
