Not for the time period in which the play is set. In any case, that's not the point of the tragedy. The conflicts in the play are not brought about because they're married too young.
In general terms, though - yes. Thirteen is way too young to get married.

Considering the background for the time of the play, I think the age of their marriage was about appropriate. Shakespearian romances don't really consider the modern ideas of time that's needed for people to fall in love and develop a relationship, especially if you take into consideration that several marriages in the "upper classes" were arranged affairs where the spouses would meet only a few times before their wedding date.

Back then (when the play was written) marriages often took place at a young age. Mostly 'cause their life expectancy wasn't too long. Old age came in their 50's, if they lived that long. Sanitation and diseases often ended their lives way too early, so they tended to get married very young. <*)))><

Yes, I do. I think it's good for the story and all but in real life I don't think that would work. They are both way to young and love takes time. I really don't believe in love at first sight. It's just too much to fast; it makes it really unbelievable.
