Isn't Ariel 16 in the movie?

I don't think he's ever declared having a minimum age, only a maximum, make of that what you will.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

googles the character

Yup, she was 16 in the first movie.

Also she stayed married to Prince Eric and had a kid? I… didn’t need to know that.

Honestly, go back in time a bit and this was pretty darn normal.

Current time they still marry preteens in Muslim religions as long as she had her period

I read a conspiracy theory that Disney movies were designed to teach girls that marrying older men while you're a child is normal.

A conspiracy among whom?

Who were the folks in a dark room saying, 'Listen boys: we're here to uphold outdated gender norms. But to work, it's all gotta be hush-hush, capiche?'

This got a chuckle outta me.

I mean, back when, it wasnt uncommon to be marrying young. Cinderella came out in 1950, a time where women didnt go to college, and it wasnt uncommon to be married right after high school to someone who could provide for you, would could easily be 22. Thats for everyday people. I imagine being royalty, where you didnt really have to go to high school or college, shakes those ages up even more

I wouldnt go as far as to call it a conspiracy theory because that wasnt out of the ordinary at the time

Not that normal. In Romeo and Juliette her parents tell Paris that while they agree to the betrothal they won't let them marry immediately until she's ''a few seasons older'' but also, the plays were for everyday people, and aristocrat's were the only people marrying so young, and Paris is this big good get for the family to have ties to, so it makes sense he doesn't see a problem but her parents do.

Romeo and Juliet were 13 though.
