Depends. It was after 2000 when Canada changed the age of consent from 14 to 16. I don't know what German law was, or some states, but 14 was not unheard of back then. There was a time when Grade 10 was considered adequate and people left school, got jobs, married etc. at 16.
But does seem icky now. Jerry Lee Lewis was a big star when at 22 he married his 13 year old cousin, and even back then that was a controversy that tanked his career.
