MM, I know that this is unusual–so are many stories of courage. I’m sure that when this woman was in her twenties, some people speculated that she was not yet engaged/ married because she was too picky, not really interested in marrying, etc. As it turned out, though, when she was in her early twenties her future husband had not yet reached the age of consent.
Of the women I know who married in their late twenties/ early thirties, most married men within a year of their own ages–some older, some younger.
