Dear Nappinnai,

The reference to the age of Seetha devi during her marriage is seen in ramayana 
while seetha explains about her marriage to anasooya devi. She says that her 
father janaka got submerged in the ocean of worry since she has reached the age 
of 5 and still he wasnt able to arrange for her marriage. Sri rama comes to 
mithila after finishing the task of sage vishvamitra. While Vishvamitra went to 
the court of dhasharatha to request him to send rama and lakshmana to safeguard 
his yaga from the asuras dhasharatha refuses saying, "oonashOdasha varushOmE 
ramO rajeeva lOchana:" from where it is said that rama hasnt yet attained the 
age of 16 which implies that he should be around 15. It is said by our acharyas 
that in those days marriage was done only to a bridegroom who was 3 times the 
age of the bride (those were the age of early marriage).

Adiyen request learned bhagavatas to through more light on this matter.

Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear devotees,
Humble praNAms and Happy and fabulous NewYear to all. 
One of my friend said that he had read somewhere that Sita was older 
than Srirama and he asked me he it were true. I told him I don't know 
and I would let him know. If any devotees know what exactly is said 
about this in srImad vAlmIki rAmAyaNam,please let me know. Thanks.
