These days it seems that maturity rates are stunted. My grandmother, born in 1896 got married at the age of 15 and helped run a homestead farm with my grandfather. It was a huge responsibly, to cook, clean, do laundry, have a garden & put up food in jars, take care of the animals etc. back then, no electricity & modern day appliances. It was do or die back then with no assistance from the government if things didn’t work out.
