age difference between the brothers and the sisters

We all know ram and his brothers were born within two days

ram was a day elder than the other three

bharat was born in early hours next day and the twins lakshman and shatrughn were born few hours later on the same day

What to say about the sisters

In my opinion, sita was ten months elder than mandavi one year elder than urmila two years and four months elder than shrutakirti

Thank you for the tag would like to read your informative posts

generically speaking, i don't think there would be much of difference between the girls because they all were of marriageable age thus the samuhik vivah. again, i could be wrong bc the marriageable age ka perspective must've been highly different from what it is today..

Intresting, thanks for this information

Ram lakshman Bharat shatrughan were on different days not hours .

First ram was born next day Bharat next day lakshman shatrughan

according to valmiki ramayan ram was a day elder then the other three

By some back calculation it seems Seeta ma was 6 when she married and Ram was 13 then. If that part is true and not just a poetic expression, then I think all four sisters would have been around the same age, since if we assume one year difference between each then youngest would be 2, and they definitely won't marry an infant

Was she kid when she married? I don't remember exactly but i think somewhere it was written that she was 17 when she married.in Quora someone had posted the source also

Child marriage wasn't there that time then how is it possible . Also Ram was in gurukul around that age then why will they get him married that time

As I said it's by back calculation

While in captive of Ravana, she mentions that after her marriage she stayed in Ayodhya for 12 years when Keikayi demanded the exile and they had to leave. She mentions that she was 18 and Ram 25 at the time of exile..

It could very well be a poetic way of saying long term or later part of indicating prime youth

Exact marriage age is no where mentioned

Ram had returned from Gurukul at their time of marriage

i think in critical edition it is one year however northeast edition mentions 12 years

conflict is there if it is 12 years or 12 months

also i heard in vedic era child marriage was not there

may be sita was counting it from birth may be she was referring to thread ceremony also known as second birth

though i think all the sisters were in their teenage at the time of marriage between 13-17
