>For the longest time, young girls (12-16) were usually married off. This happened all around the world across all cultures.

Actually that's false. Well almost. Average age at marriage through Europe even in the middle ages and even amongst peasants was about 20 but often they married older. I say almost because that's only in Europe, in Asia, Africa, the middle east etc you are fight and they were married off much younger. But then these cultures really don't/didn't care about women so in their view the sooner they get rid of their daughters the better.
