Child of your time

You didn't have to tell us your age, because only a young woman of the 1990s would assume that a 13 year old girl would naturally choose to run off and live with her boyfriend. Four hundred years ago that thought wouldn't even have entered her mind; she is doing the wildest imaginable thing by marrying him in secret, and only has the nerve to do that because the Friar gives his approval.
