In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Jewish people in Russia and Poland used to get married at about 12 years old (they wouldn't live together until 14, or so). This had something to do with the fact that the army would conscript any unmarried male about 14 years old.

Unfortunately I don't remember the exact years and details.
