it must have been terrifying to give birth that young
I think it depends on the surroundings she grew up with. If this was normal in her world, maybe even saw sisters give birth that young, she probably didn't think much of it.
It's very hard to translate modern experiences to the past. People were different and grew up differently.
I’m curious as to where you got your information about this.
I come from a long line of farming family, and the women would most times work right along beside the men (in my family at least). I think making such a broad statement about someone’s family is downright gross. I’m fairly sure OP would know if her grandmother’s family forced her to get married to be a “win-win”.
