Here, 8 or 9 out of 20 (with known ages at marriage) married before 15. Not 25 % as previous sample, but 40 to 45 %.

Some birth years were not verifiable on the wikipedia, even if jumping between several languages. Possibly, with those birth years, we would be dealing with girls marrying before 15 also? I don't know./HGL

PS, in case you wondered, no I don't think the lower median lifespan for these married women is due to overmuch childbearing.
