Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 84

Because he had a younger sister who was still unmarried, Adrian Tang made a point of learning about some of the marriage issues of men and women in that era.

Emperor Zhao Fu of Kaiping issued an order: "All boys at the age of sixteen and girls at the age of fourteen can be married." This means that boys can start to be engaged and married when they are sixteen and girls can start to be married when they are fourteen. But this does not mean that you have to get married at the age of sixteen or fourteen.

Adrian Tang had thought about keeping his sister until she was eighteen years old.

In fact, in ancient times, there were many girls who got married at the age of eighteen.

Eighteen years old is not considered an old maid, but most of these girls were engaged two years earlier and only got married at the age of eighteen.
