Number game and marriage

At 13, I was biologically ready to get married
At 18, I was legally ready to get married
At 21, I had the basic level of education to get a decent match; I was a graduate
At 24, it was now my turn to get married after the last of my elder siblings was married
At 25, it was peak time to get married as per the society
At 27, I was a woman declared old enough to plan for kids right after I'm married instead of having a get-to-know-each-other time with my would-be partner because my biological clock was ticking
Today, at 29, I should be thinking of settling with whatever comes my way because I've crossed the right age to choose for myself

But no one has told me yet, which number is associated with being mentally ready and fit to be married, to make a home.
