    You’re not wrong.

    Before the late 1800s age of consent laws didn’t exist. Like a bar mitzvah was a celebration of adulthood, at 13, iirc.

    Marrying children was common. And knocking up young teen girls was normal. And this still happens…

    I think the saying was/is, “old enough to bleed, old enough to breed.”
