It's been far less than a century that men and women married in their teens. I had an aunt that married at thirteen and I know many people who had relatives who married around that age.
Pedophilia comes from a warped mind, and it does not include just one person through marriage, it is an attack on many young girls and boys and violent in nature. This in no way describes what you've read in scripture or was told about in scripture, no one knows the age of Joseph and the oldest age I heard speculated was 29. Most Biblical scholars believe Joseph died a few years before Jesus started His ministry, Jesus had several brothers and sisters, so I do not see how Joseph could have been very old. Just because some men in the scriptures had children at very old ages doesn't mean it was common place.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
