I grew up hearing over & over that Mary would have been a young teenager when Jesus was born. Except the evidence for age of first marriage for 1st c. Jewish women is significantly higher. Polygamy drives down age of first marriage into the preteen years, not premodern society.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that this analogy falls apart after a certain point, say, 1949 or maybe 1955...
