C. by setting a minimum age for marriage

Explanation:

By the beginning of the thirteenth century, around 1215, the church had established the relationship between married couples up to the fourth degree in relation to marriage, showing a certain mobility of the Church in relation to the wealthy families who did not admit to dispersing their fortune. The church determined that girls had a minimum age to marry that it was between the ages of twelve and fifteen that made it much more difficult to fulfill the desire they might have of not marrying a particular fiance.
