Capulet:
But saying o'er what I have said before.
My child is yet a stranger in the world.
She hath not seen the change of fourteen years.
Let two more summers wither in their pride
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

Paris:
Younger than she are happy mothers made.

Capulet:
And too soon marred are those so early made.
Earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she;
She's the hopeful lady of my earth.
But woo her, gentle Paris, get her heart;
My will to her consent is but a part.
And, she agreed, within her scope of choice
Lies my consent and fair according voice.

By reminding readers that brides had little control over whom or at what age they could marry.

We know that back then people did not have much say in who it was they married. Their parents chose for them who they saw fit and that was that. Very little was the spouse chosen by the person themself. So this encounter reminds us that back then brides has almost no control over who it was that they would marry.

The encounter between Capulet and Paris reinforces the message that the authority of parents to make decisions about their children was expected by reminding the readers that there was little control in the hands of brides regarding whom to marry.
