"What age of woman’s life corresponded with maidenhood? throughout the present study 'maiden' refers to a young unmarried woman in her teens and early twenties. As will be discussed in the first chapter, the boundaries of the phase were set at the lower end by the onset of puberty and the advent of legal responsibilities and abilities in the early to mid-teens, and at the UPPER END by consummated marriage or its expectation in THE LATER TEENS TO MID-TWENTIES."
(Book: Medieval Maidens: Young women and gender in medieval england. KIM M. PHILLIPS)
