Are you an agist?
Just kidding!
You already know that we make mistakes when we look at 2000 year ago and make these self-professed righteous remarks about the life back then.
those who attack the lifestyle back then are wrong
And
those who want to live like the way they used to live 2000 years ago are wrong too.
Ours are different time.
Having said that.
Marriage should never be about sex, and making babies.
At least one of the parents has to be financially stable as well.
Otherwise when young people have sex, and make babies, and then they cannot afford the baby, then the society at large has to pay for raising the baby.
Got it?
In old time, there was no tax system, no county health system, no food stamps.
If you married a 9 years old girl to a 15 years old boy, there was no way in heck, that they could support their kids. 15 years old boy back then, or even now does not have enough expertise to earn money, and cannot have enough savings.

We in the modern society have focused too much on age, sex, & babies, and not enough on making sure that at least one of the parents would actually have enough money to raise the kids instead of becoming hopelessly dependent on taxpayers’ handouts.
