A particularly significant detail is that only the witnesses and the town official signed the document because the bride and groom were illiterate. This reflects the limited access to education among rural peasant populations during that period. Illiteracy was common among agricultural workers, especially in smaller towns, and was not unusual for individuals of their social class.
