Thanks for linking to that intelligent look at hisorical marraige. I wonder if it was the same at the bottom of the social ladder where there was little/no property/wealth to bargain for.

Or maybe having less property, it was even more important to marry for what little money there was?

My pleasure. And yes, I expect that no matter where you were it was probably important to secure a good match.

Look at Mrs Bennet devoting her life to getting her daughters married, for example.
