Young marriages must have been reasonably common as it is surmised that one reason for Bishop Wilson insisting that marriage partners also be confirmed was to place a minimum age of about 16.
There are a few early marriage contracts where the parties mentioned are only children - one actually states that if the specified child dies then another will be supplied !
