How old is a spinster? - marriage of Richard Nelms 1841 (General)

Hello,
I have the certified copy of an entry of marriage between Richard Nelms and Eliza Baldwyn 1841 Oct 16. It says she is of age. Her circa birth is 1826 (from 1841 Silver St Abenhall) 1825 from the christening record in Mitcheldean. Still that makes her 15 or 16 years old in 1841 right? So how old is a spinster?
I hope this doesn't mean that I've lost the connection to the Baldwyn family.
Help me understand again, please.

Bonnie - Bonita Nelm(e)s
