My maternal grandmother was 14 when she got married. My grandfather was 20. This was a century ago. It was a different time.

Yep. I recall hearing about a couple who got married about then, in the mid-1920s, when she was 14 and I think he was 23 or 24. They were still married at the time I knew the youngest of their 15 children in college around 1975.
