Young girls are at a bigger health risk during pregnancies

We all know that the human body, including female hips, is not done developing after puberty. Female hips reach their full width between 25-30 years even. This also coincides with the best birthing years, somehow!
Even in the 13th century normal marriage age was at 22 years for women, so it's not like it was the standard for people back to go around marrying and impregnating children. Appeal to history doesn't apply here...

Girls as young as 5 are on record of giving birth, doesn't mean we should do it lmao.
Anyway not coming back to this thread afterwards because it's a silly discussion, exercise your literacy all you want.
