Act 1, scene 2.

Lady Capulet: ... How stands your dispositions to be married?

Juliet: It is an honour that I dream not of.

Nurse: An honour! Were not I thine only nurse, I would say that thou hadst sucked wisdom from thy teat.

Lady Capulet: Well, think of marriage now. Younger than you, here in Verona, ladies of esteem are made already mothers. By my count, I was your mother much upon these years that you are now a maid. Thus in brief: the valiant Paris seeks wants you for his love.

Lady Capulet is saying that girls younger than Juliet are already married and have children. She herself was a mother before she reached the age that Juliet is now. Then she says that Paris wants to marry Juliet.
