1) He married her at the age of twenty two.
Can one tell who was twenty two at the time of marriage, he or she?
I think there is another possibility: 'he' is the father and he marries his daughter (i.e. 'her') when she is twenty two.
As is often the case, I am trying to figure out if the sentence is ambiguous or not. Obviously, context will clarify things.
