yes. Infact he was a ToyBoy!
An 18-year-old William Shakespeare married 26-year-old Anne Hathaway in November 1582. At the time, she was pregnant with his child.
Anne going to have a baby, and they wanted to be married before she was born.
Only with parents permission.
Can only a mother sign for her 17 year old daughter to get married?
Well, it depends on what you consider to be a "girl", but his 26-year-old bride was certainly female.
yes but only if the 16 year old was emancipated.
He was eighteen.
No and should not if they are only preteens.
If you mean, "How old was Hamlet, the character in the play, at the time Shakespeare was married?" then your question makes no sense. It's like asking "How old was Donald Duck when Shakespeare was born?" Well, you cannot answer not only because Donald Duck is a fictional character who never ages but also because he was not invented at the time Shakespeare was born. Likewise, if you mean "How old was Shakespeare's play Hamlet at the time Shakespeare was married?", it doesn't make sense because Shakespeare wrote that play after he and Anne were married. The same if by "Hamlet" you mean "Hamnet Shakespeare, William's son" because Hamnet was born in 1585 and his parents were married in 1582. The only way this question could possibly make sense is if you mean "How old was the story of Hamlet when Shakespeare got married in 1582?" Well, the story of Amleth appears in a book called Gesta Danorum (The Acts of the Danes), a kind of Danish history book, written around the year 1200, 382 years before Shakespeare's marriage, give or take a dozen years. Another similar but shorter work called the Chronicon Lethrense was written about thirty years earlier. These books put the events in the Amleth story some time in the 600s AD.
Answer: You would let your little 14 year old daugther get married!? And to a 22 year old man!? It is not only illegal for her to get married, but immoral like hell to! So my answer is: NO!
Shakespeare loved his wife, Anne Hathaway who he married when he was only 18 years old. He may have loved someone else, but no one knows for certain.
a 17 year old girl could get married in UK in 2006 Only with parental consent.
