Anyone wanting a huge age gap to ‘marry’ a minor is just a pedo in denial.
It’s the same reasoning that considers women or wives to ‘expire’. Only to a pedo. Marriage is lifelong, that’s why pedos hate it.
Age gaps 10y+ greatly increase divorce risk for a reason.
Another case of “pedos are wrong in every possible way”.
At no point are teenagers the norm!

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the figures reported for 1947 to 1999 are based on Current Population Survey data. The figures for years prior to 1947 are based on decennial censuses. A standard error of 0.1 years is appropriate to measure sampling variability for any of the above estimated median ages at first marriage based on Current Population Survey data.
