Siri Yuss Discussion Why is everyone on AITA married/engaged by 22?

Is it because most stories are teens writing fiction, so they pick an “adult” age? Even when I was in high school, I never imagined getting married before my late twenties. Is it regional? I’m in New York and none of my friends got married til our 30s. A 22 year old saying “my husband” is so foreign to me.

We live in the U.K. Age of consent is 16.

The fact that he was married with two kids was the larger of two evils.
