The future spouse was usually chosen well before 18. In fact, for centuries, the average age for marriage was 12 to 14 in the western world. Old roasties (i.e. feminists) keep trying to push that age of consent higher and higher to try and tip the supply/demand in their favor. I read something a while back about "second adolescence" that goes until you're 25.

It was 12-14 for nobility, not for the common folk.
