Depends on what ages you believe pedophilia applies to.
Like kids back then got married at ages 15-18. Would an 18 year old marrying a 15 years old now be considered pedophilia now? Yes, in some countries as 18 is the legal adult age, while 15 is a minor, with a mental maturity gap.
Back then? No, not really.
But in Japan, the legal marriage age is 16. But the legal marriage age is 18 or 21 in others, in those nations, a 21 year old marrying a 16 year old looks like pedophilia, but in others, it's not.
"Pedophilia" is a concept which age gap varies based on legal "adult age", culture and well, which era it is. There is no specific ages for pedophilia. Like a 60 year old marrying a 20 year old is technically not considered pedophilia, as the 20 year old is mature.
Maturity back then depends on various factors too, sexual maturity(period) is age 12 (there are 12 year old brides in some cultures) , body maturity (15-18), mental maturity (21-23 widely thought in most Western nations). Pedophilia also depends on what age they think the person is *mature* at too. Basically, ages from sexual maturity and up are not considered pedophilia in some cultures or historical places, because they have different ideas of what age is considered mature & minor.
In modern society, we generally feel that the age when someone is considered to be an adult is 18-21 years old, which is why we feel any age younger than that is considered to be pedo.
lmao yes 18 yo marrying a 15 yo counts as pedophilia, just because it was the norm back then doesnt mean that its morally right.
why 18 with a 15 is problematic is because the level of maturity. during these years people's mind changes drastically. heck a person can change so much in one year.
just because its legally ok doesnt mean its alright guys.
Is no one gonna talk about how the first story is literally p€dophilia??? Dude is 16 married to a 26 yo Σ(  ̄□ ̄||) idc if its supposed to be in a renaissance kinda era, making the mc an adult aka AT LEAST 20 yo wouldnt have changed anything in the story.... I dont see the point in making him a minor this is just repulsing
