Step back in time to uncover a chapter of history that is often overlooked – the practice of child marriage in the Middle Ages. In this video, we explore how society, religion, and tradition shaped the lives of countless young girls who were married off as early as twelve years old. From royal courts using daughters as political pawns to peasant families struggling for survival, we’ll reveal the realities behind this deeply rooted custom and how it slowly began to change during the Enlightenment.
This isn’t just about the past; it’s a reminder of how these practices have echoed through the centuries and why understanding them matters today.
