Best Answer

Marriage was viewed as being very important. Women had very little choice as to who her husband might be. Many couples met for the first time on their wedding day and marriages were arranged so that both families would benefit. Women were expected to bring a dowry and after marriage the wife became the property of the husband. It was legal for boys to marry at 14 and girls at 12 with parental permission. Women were expected to marry, unmarried ladies were viewed as witches.
