I mean, back when, it wasnt uncommon to be marrying young. Cinderella came out in 1950, a time where women didnt go to college, and it wasnt uncommon to be married right after high school to someone who could provide for you, would could easily be 22. Thats for everyday people. I imagine being royalty, where you didnt really have to go to high school or college, shakes those ages up even more
I wouldnt go as far as to call it a conspiracy theory because that wasnt out of the ordinary at the time
Not that normal. In Romeo and Juliette her parents tell Paris that while they agree to the betrothal they won’t let them marry immediately until she’s ‘‘a few seasons older’’ but also, the plays were for everyday people, and aristocrat’s were the only people marrying so young, and Paris is this big good get for the family to have ties to, so it makes sense he doesn’t see a problem but her parents do.
Who were the folks in a dark room saying, ‘Listen boys: we’re here to uphold outdated gender norms. But to work, it’s all gotta be hush-hush, capiche?’
I read a conspiracy theory that Disney movies were designed to teach girls that marrying older men while you’re a child is normal.

Romeo and Juliet were 13 though.
A conspiracy among whom?

Conspiracy by big old
This got a chuckle outta me.
But it do be true that Big Old runs the world.
