This was the late 1930s. 22 year old Charlie Johns marries 9 year old Eunice Winstead. The whole nation was horrified and it was all over the news. The mother Lewis Winstead defended the marriage. Eunice became pregnant when she was about 15 years old. She had 7 children. Charlie Johns died in the mid-late 90s and eunice died in 2006. in the later years of her life, Eunice wasn't damaged by her marriage. she actually missed Charlie and had very positive memories of him and still loved him and had a positive view of her marriage to him. most 9 year olds getting married would later be horrified by the fact that they married so young.
The nationwide backlash the marriage received was justified. a 9 year old is way too young to even date a 22 year old. i guess Charlie and eunice got away with it because this was the 1930s. If someone married a 9 year old today, it'd be over for him, people would want him hung in public. pedophiles weren't the most hated group of people on earth until the 70s. in the 1930s, people were worried instead about the great depression. people didn't care as much about child sexual abuse back then.
after reading about their marriage. all i can say is that marriage was a terrible idea. a 9 year old is too young.
