The Caetchism of the council of trent set the age of marriage as 12 for girls and 14 for boys
Judaism sets the age of betrothsl at 0 for girls and for consumating the marriage at three years old
Although Orthodox Jews say that before about three years old it is no big deal like sticking a finger in the eye that causes tears and crying but heals back just fine
I am opposed to the Jewish standard and opposed to illegal marriages that violate the current law
@YoMomz
In the Christian Old and New Testament there are passages that might imply certain qualities permitting or forbidding a marriage but those qualities are not a certain number of years
Some passages might imply in the view of some scholars a certain level of physical or mental maturity that is correlated with age but do not list a specific age
As such unlike Jewish writings the Christian Old Testament does not endorse toddler marriage
I oppose people doing illegal underage marriages
