Girls married around the ages of 16-18, boys at 18-22. A courtship (dating with intent to marry) lasted 8-12 months. After the marriage, children were generally expected to follow soon after. It was required that the man be financially stable before the proposal. He would have asked the girl's father permission to "take her hand in marriage"
