There was nothing scandalous about William Shakespeare's marriage. Anne was around eight years older than William when the pair married in 1582 (William was eighteen), and there seems to have been a special licence issued to get the marriage through in a hurry (Anne was pregnant). But marrying a girl older than yourself was not very unusual in a sixteenth century farming community. A young man with ambition (which William certainly was) needed a mature woman to manage his local affairs while he traveled to seek his fortune in London. And marrying a bride who was already pregnant was almost normal (fiancés were considered as good as married even in Chaucer's time, as the Wife of Bath reminds us).
