All woman got married at the age of 14-15. Younger than men.
Upperclass Marriages were arranged usually by a professional matchmaker.
Lowerclass marriages usually had freedom of marriage but their parents made the decision and the girls could make a suggestion once a while.
The bride's family gave an honor of feast. The feast could last several days..
Once the bride had to go to her new house, the groom would carry her on his back home.
After they reached their new home they had to tie their coats to one another under the hearth or cooking area, and then they would be officially married.
Once a woman was married the woman could run a business at her house.
Both parents had to raise their kids and teach them behavior. If the parents did not teach their behavior to their children then they could be punished.
If woman wished they could be divorced but they would only get half the goods owned by herself or husband.
