I have made a few statistics on when girls got married in the Middle Ages and under l'Ancien Régime.
Today, waiting till marriage has become uncommon.
Here is a video, I'm just picking out the girls, also leaving out the ones who didn't answer:
What age did you lose your virginity? 100 boys and girls

I skipped the boys, I skipped the girls who didn't answer, and stopped the video to note the ages and the V for Virgin. Each age was noted separately on a new row first time it appeared, and when another one was deflourished same age, she was put in a new item on the same row.
14 14 14 14 14 15 15 15 15 16 16 16
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12
16 16 16 16 16 17 17 17 17 17 18 18
13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24
18 18 18 18 18 19 19 19 19 21 21 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36
V V V V V V
1 2 3 4 5 6
This translates to the following stats:
36 + 6 = 42
36/42 = 85.714 % not V
6/42 = 14.286 % V (aka 1/7)
Not-V, since age:
Min. 14
LQ 15/16
Median 17
HQ 18
Max 24
This is pretty close to the Middle Ages. The difference is, the girls in the Middle Ages much more usually got married first./HGL
