Glad that we don't have such times anymore and have a freedom of doing whatever we want. And if you think that you want to try date someone then dating apps can be a good start for you.

You could consider some points such as: Marriage was the only real option for women to establish themselves; it was the norm for parents to arrange marriages for their children; wives were legally subject to their husbands, and their property belonged to him also. However, in Shakespeare's writing and some other writing of the period, there is a great respect for the idea of marriage as  a union of like-minded people and a source of happiness and strength. Wives in Shakespeare aren't generally doormats!
 
Re: Romeo and Juliet: It's significant that it was not the norm for girls to be married at 14. He is definitely emphasising how young the lovers are.

As its obvious that the culture is reflected in the writings of an author and are preserved as such. Shakespeare's writings are enough to predict the way of life of the time he was living in. For centuries its their custom; of the English people to get dressed in the white at their wedding that is the bride and the groom in black and get bonded in the Church, accepting their partner for their life and promising to be loyal.
