If you are asking about the details of the play which would make it seem somewhat anachronistic these days, having people wandering around with swords on their hips isn't done any more, although there are gang members who walk around armed. (This is the basis for the West Side Story adaptation, and the 1996 movie). Girls who live a cloistered life before they are married are not a common sight in the west, although common enough in Pakistan or Afghanistan or some such place. Fathers who arrange marriages for their daughters is again not common in the west, but not unusual in India and parts of Africa. Wet nurses who become lifelong servants to the children they nursed are not common anymore. Also it is uncommon to bury people in family vaults without embalming them and enclosing them in a casket, both of which would have killed Juliet before she had a chance to wake up.
