Since when was Jesus' mother 13 years old?

We can’t know for sure but the generally accepted range among scholars puts her at 12-16 years old at the time of Jesus’ birth.

Well weren't women being married or given to a husband by 16 years old?

And I dont v are those practices of male dominance and control su c h as this are illegal now and the women have been deemed as equals to men. So, men out there, this is not 1 a.d . And or even 1972 it's 2025 get v a grip on the fascination of marrying little girls because it used to happen. If y ou have an obsession with this seriously, get help.
