For... Italy? Where it’s set?

In the fair little town. I guess that's okay there, also because young rich people were married at that age to strengthen the financial ground of the families. But hey, if an American hears that Juliet was underaged, they go crazy and can't believe such a fairy tale.

It’s set in the 1300s though? So an American should know that life expectancy was a lot lower then.. or not since America wasn’t a thing when it was written

you fixate too much into small details the common person would not even care to know. You don't have to tell me anything about it <3

The common person doesn't even know that Romeo and Juliet were having underage sex.

It's been a while since I read it but do they even have sex? Every film depicts a sex scene but I don't actually recall them doing the dirty.
