It is natural to fall in love when you enter puberty, but not to have sex. In an age without antibiotics and social services childbirth was postponed till the age of 19 and marriage was just a way of proving that you are not an asshole to the parents until they finally give you the go ahead to have children.

NO U!
Not Jews, Christians and Muslims, to a certain extent. Sex abstinence was considerred pious and was a status symbol, noble women were expected to remain virgins till their mid 20s to prove their virtuousness even if they were married. Age 15-16 were the usual age for peasants, tending to increase in more zealous regions.

Sex before the age of 19 was a threat to the girl's life in those days and they had every reason to want their daughters to stay virgins till they were mature and to make sure their husbands were chivalrous.

They also had reason to believe that sex with underage girls was evil, since death during childbirth in 14-15 year olds was common.
