Essentially, hebephilia is not the same thing as pedophilia, even the DSM-V makes the distinction using the term pedophilic disorder for the latter. For most of humanity (pre-modern (1945 and before) agrarian societies), hebephilia was common and seen as normal since marriages would be contracted and done the second a female starts puberty, mostly as a tool for economic gain, familial association and to secure the female as a patriarchal acquisition.

This is not taking into account the fact that puberty started substantially later in premodern societies (~16 or so) and is flat out incorrect for most of the premodern societies that I can think of off the top of my head (eg, average age for most medieval marriages was early to mid twenties. Betrothals of very young children existed in aristocratic/royal families, but these marriages weren’t consummated until adulthood. There’s some story of an English king I recall who married a very young bride who turned out to be mute, and it was considered a punishment from god for marrying her so young.)

For all the creepy shit people say about teenagers supposedly being more “fertile,” teenage girls have bodies which are too small to safely have children. Especially in pre-modern societies where a c-section was a death sentence.
