Oh... she's 16, and he's 23..... Why couldn't they just make her 18 at least 💀

Since it was at medieval period, marrying in your 16 is quite common. Heck my great grandma got married at 9. And my Great grandpa was 20 at that time.

Actually even now in some state and countries 16 is a legal marriageable age. And having 7 years of deference is nothing.

Though It's still quite icky.
