For thousands of years until the last 80 it was normal and encouraged for young woman at age 12 to get married and start having children. Today's world is so perverted people can't conceive of such a normal relationship.?

No! Child marriage was not the norm throughout history, and in most cases, such child marriages were practiced primarily by upper class people making alliances. In many, if not most of these cases, such marriages were not consumated until the bride (and often the groom!) reached sexual maturity in at least their mid teens. There are a few historical eras where girls married in their early teens, but they are the exception, not the rule. In most historical periods, age of marriage on average were late teens to mid twenties depending on class, culture and historical era.
If nothing else, you do realize that "normal" is now putting off having kids until your career is well-established, right? Most people in a position to have a meaningful career desire this. So under present-day conditions, what you desire is decidedly not normal. You're a freak. People are scared of freaks. Okay, now I'm getting into troll territory.
You know what the leading cause of death for women was and still is in areas where it is common (legal is another matter) for 14 year old girls to get knocked up?
Childbirth.
Even with modern medicine giving birth at such a young age is more often crippling or fatal for both mother and child than a live birth. This is why marriages were very rarely consummated until the late teens even when the arrangements and ceremonies were performed at much younger ages. History and biology are not subjects you should continue to stain with your quarter-truths.
>So... NOT being a paedophile is perverted?
Haven't you seen enough posts here from guys who think if you want to date a woman who's over 18 or your own age, you're a sick fuck?
It's like I keep saying; I'd love to see these idiots explanation for the popularity of MILF porn and all the young bucks you see at cougar bars looking to score.
