Quinceañera
The celebration is for Latin American girls (or "Latinas" in the US) who, on turning fifteen are no longer considered children, and are honored and introduced into their community as
young women.In rural societies, girls were considered ready for marriage
once they turned fifteen. In the 20th century, the quinceañera received certain privileges associated with womanhood: permission to attend adult parties,"
would you tell them that they are not mature enough to go to the parties or be ready for marriage?
" The quinceañera marked a young woman's transition to adulthood, as she was presented, as a virgin, to the community for probable suitors.[3]"
In some cultures at 15 a young girl is considered "ready" to have kids and be a wife.
As to the OP question while I dont agree with the practice in some cultures what might be considered as pedophilia,
its considered normal for young girls to be ready for marriage.
