I can only assume we're talking abut a different Jareel. The Genertela Book of the Glorantha box tells me (p 34) that she was born in 1588. According to my arithmetic, that makes her 14 in 1602.
The same source goes on to say "in 1602 she led the Imperial Bodyguard up the cliff face to storm.... Boldhome". "Led", not "was among". She seems to have bene quite precocious.
Unfortunately it also explains what she's doing "now" (1621). She's in the Heartland, debating against the Keepers of the White Moon. So on the whole, a marriage in this period seems unlikely.
