The medieval maiden: young womanhood in late medieval England - Medievalists.net
What would be expected of a girl in late Medieval England period.
Interesting:
No contract for marriage could be entered into until both parties were 7 yrs old. (more of an agreement, since either person could annul the contract before they married.)
No person can enter marriage before: 12 for girls and 14 for boys.
The part I read, a girl was expected to follow maidenhood(raise a family) or follow the religious life(nunnery).
