This just came to mind because I genuinely am just curious, but off the top of my head, 'if she bleeds' was never something that a predominantly white society practiced, not even the medieval period.

I'm not a history buff, but I believe the general consensus amongst historians is that, in ancient European societies, marriage for women was legal after puberty, usually around 14 years of age.
Regardless, the trolls are still retards.
Even then, it was mostly noble children that would get married that young due to how important marriages were for the nobles, so it was still no where near as common as widely believed.
Well it's not just that, the other excuse I've seen is because of the high mortality rate in that society. People weren't living to their 70s-90s back then as often.
People did die of disease more often then, but the average age expectancy is heavily weighted by the high child mortality of the time too.
