I'm writing a fiction story that takes place in Russia during the early 1900s. I'm writing about two marriages: one from a man's point of view, and the other from a woman's point of view. Does anyone know how the marriage system worked back then? I looked all over google and couldn't find anything. This is what I need to know: 1. How old were women the first time they got married? 2. How old were the men? 3. At what age did women start having children? 4. How long after planning the marriage would the couple get married? 5. Could men take multiple wives? 6. Was there any process or test the woman or man had to go through before the family agreed to marry the two? Thanks!
