Edgar Allan Poe's first wife, his cousin Virginia, was only thirteen years old when he married her; he was twice her age.
I need to know how bad it was considered to be to marry one's cousin, as well as how bad it was considered to be to marry someone so much younger than oneself, in the early 1800s. Please provide sources too; I need it to be credible information.
