To be fair the early arranged marriage thing is a bit misunderstood as lower classes married about same as we nowadays do as for upper classes - sure, they had kids betrothed but they usually married way later on and even if it was young - no consumation happened until later. I can think of one queen who was also 13 when she got married and not certain on consummation age but it was near (15 maybe). Her husband was horrid according to her and in her letters as a teen she named him a smelly old fart who had no culture (yeah, she did discriminate based on the marriage arranged to unite Poland with 'barbarians' but it was also a kid marrying much older dude who was a prat and she had to marry as country insisted she could not be a queen without it so she hated the concept).

There certainly are examples of it in the upper classes. The one that came to mind for me was Margaret Beaufort (mother of King Henry VII, but not a queen herself)

Ah, I never read about her which strikes me as strange. The Queen I mentioned was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadwiga_of_Poland .

Forgot to name the youngest couple to marry in my area - it had been countryside and people tended to go into formal relationships at 20 ideally but great grandmother done it at 16 with her husband of same age. People were a bit weirded out, especially when both ran off from their own reception (in wedding clothes) to play football. They did not have children until way later and out of those, my grandma married equally young - at 18.

However, that area was hard work so when you opted to marry early, it meant you needed to add people under your farm to help you. Great grandmother was in an arranged marriage while grandma married the brother of her own boyfriend (they broke up way later for a silly reason but hell if I remember it). She never liked grandfather but he pined after her - they divorced few years before our birth which ... they never told anyone about as town they moved to was special.
