He is only fifteen! Does she really think he is prepared for marriage, especially with his intellectual range of a teacup?

About This Quote

Can you imagine a husband who is only fifteen? Someone who hasn’t even tried going to college yet. It is a common belief that a person who hasn’t yet attended a four-year university or college can’t be married. Some people even say that a child should complete his high school education before marriage. Let’s go back to the time when Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet was only 14 years old.

In this story, Romeo was only 15, but he was very mature for his age. In fact, he was so mature that he proposed to Juliet on his first date. Although she said no at first, she felt more strongly for him after he passionately kissed her and begged her to run away with him.

He told her that he had a plan and would see her again the next day. Sure enough, he came back and asked her again to run away with him. Before she could make up her mind, they were engaged and had been married less than a month later!
