Hi, in wealthy families, girls got married around 16 years old and boys around 18 years old.
Generally, in poor families. girls got married younger 'cause their family did not want to feed her any more, considering that girls were someone's wife sooner or later.
Boys in poor families would be older to get married for their parents did not have enough money to "buy" wivies for them.
