When I was bookstudy conductor and doing the 'Greatest Man' book, I asked how old Mary might have been when she conceived Jesus.

The group was shocked when I suggested that at that time girls as young as 14 years old would be married and have children. However, it stands to reason that as life expectancy in those days was only 30 to 35, people married younger and had children younger.
