I don't think this is necessarily acceptable in Romanian culture either (which had been under Communist rule during the Cold War, and therefore would have had a repressive social culture.) The marriage was simply making the best of a bad situation.
But in Iran, and probably in other cultures in the region, the youngest age to marry is 13, though with parental consent a girl may marry at 9. So yes, other cultures do have their very bad aspects too.
