I was wondering if it would be possible to have a young sovereign, like a teenager or something. There have been very young monarchs in reality...
Two words...
Mod Community.
I wouldn't worry bout things like this bro.
Some of the stuff you can make can definately pass for a late-teens character. If you're talking 13ish, then no.
But I'm sure that modders will accomodate all your hebephilic or ephebophilic needs.
You're on the Internet. Everything you say will be automatically evaluated in relation to sex.
On a serious note, it would actually be kinda cool to have young characters in the 13-15 range. It would almost become like a young adult fantasy like the Golden Compass everyone used to read. It's unfortunate that they'd then need to deal with hairy issues like child death.
You brought this upon yourself.
You really want to have the opportunity to play her? Make her marry and have children?
Well, depending on how aging is done, I doubt you would stay a child for much longer than your first few turns. (like 10-20 turns, 100 turns at an extreme ... either way its still early game, with potential for child-bearing in your mid-late teens I suppose- if you get your dynasty started fairly early)
Now, if INSTEAD we are talking about a sovereign who stays as a child for the ENTIRE GAME, then i see that as a perfect reason to take it the wrong way 
Once they are modded into the game.
Seems like it would be fairly easy to do by making the sovereign's starting age a variable at character creation.
(As for people taking it the wrong way, historically people married a lot younger. Sameuel de Champlain married a 12 year old girl, for example. The idea that people shouldn't be married until their mid 20s is a very recent thing, in the scope of human history.)
Well, in modern times most races aren't fertile till age 14 or so (exceptions being 13 and 12, usually of african descent)
however I suppose in medieval times even Europeans might have been regularly fertile at 12/13? Or perhaps getting married before being fertile was a common enough practice.
In any case, many Middle Eastern (turkish?) cultures marry off their women as soon after their first period as possible. (probably different now?)
no tasunke, actually it is the other way around:
in modern societies the sexual maturity is much earlier (13/14) then in natural societies (~16).
Interesting. Well, either way, there have been many different marriage customs.
Point is, that although I personally don't see a need for young sovereigns (as I don't think it fits the theme) I guess people can mod in their Narnia sims or what not.
