Depends if you approve of a 31 year old marrying an 18 year old that he met when she was 15.

Huh ? She was 15, he was 29 when they “met”, you don’t have a problem with that ?If he shows her the same kind of consideration that he seems to have shown his home town then she'll be at least as well off with him as with someone her own age. The age difference is much less of a problem than the way the relationship is managed.

You’re clearly ignorant on these matters. As someone who is trained in safeguarding children over many decades I’m not going to debate with someone who knows zero about the subject. A child is a child, not a woman or a man, a child, their mental maturity has no correlation with their physical appearance. You really don’t want to go there with me.Which country did they meet in, and how do the laws and also social mores and customs of that country view such a meeting? What kind of "meeting" was it & have you just made some assumptions without supporting data?

Really?For balance, I would like to say that such a large age gap is not ideal,
Really?
I married my wife, who is ten years older than me, when I was nineteen and fifty three years later we're still together. We know other couples with equally large gaps (in both directions) whose marriages have been equally long lived.
Anything can be a problem in a relationship. There are many things that can disrupt a relationship more surely than age difference.It doesn't *have* to be a problem, but it can be.
A good example that each relationship is unique and its stability depends on many factors, both internally and externally, the majority of which will seldom, if ever, be observed by outsiders.I can think of a thirteen year old girl and an eighteen year old boy that met, got married eight years later and remained so for 74 years.

Its interesting that we always hear of the malevolent scenarios of age gaps and very rarely hear of the scenarios that end up in successful long term relationships. I guess the later is not sensational enough or doesn't trigger the public angst as the former doesI'm still interested to hear your opinion about our late Queen. Who met her late husband in very similar circumstances?

Well, I have not been trained for years in safeguarding
