In reality, the biggest reason why females were wed and actually DID engage in sexual acts young was simple, it's called medical technology, in relation to our world, the time period set could be considered Medieval, if that were the case, a women would have to give birth young to avoid complications during child birth, you get ripped open when you give berth, a women of age 20 is not as likely to bounce back from such a traumatic experience in that time, when the best they had to clean the wound was old rags, and because the younger you are the developmental stage leaves your bones softer, more malleable, they are spongier, this allows a persons body to more easily access the stem cells latent in all human beings bones, (yes adults have them too but they are harder to access because our bones become stiff as we age, mostly only being accessible in small amounts as we sleep because our bodies relaxed state allows our bones to soften slightly) stem cells are responsible not only for physical growth (as they can become any other type of cell in your body I.E. bone, or muscle) but are also responsible for healing, or regeneration of damaged tissue I.E. genital tissue, making a  12-13 year old girl considerably more capable of bouncing back from child birth in those times than a 20 year old, in fact to give birth beyond 18 was considered a death sentence.
