I’d be curious to know what percentage of the teen-aged brides are pregnant at the wedding.
Back in the last century, most teen brides I knew were either pregnant (me!) or victims of the mindset where being A Wife And Mother was the highest thing a girl could aspire to, because You’re Nothing Without A Man. I still saw both from my daughter’s friends who got married early. I’m suspecting there’d be less of the dewy-eyed bride and more of the forced paternity nowadays.
