Take a second to see what the Aztec community would have looked like back then!
At the beginning:
The life of an Aztec family began and ended at marriage. Marriage marked the entrance into Aztec adult and independent society. At an early age of twenty man marriage his wife at her mid teens. Most marriages were prearranged by their parents but the children had some but not much input. Before the marriage could take place the parents would have to speak to their religious leaders and discuss the signs under which each child was born. The wedding was full of ceremony and form. An Aztec man was allowed to have more than one wife. However, his primary wife was the one to go through the ceremony. All of his secondary wives would still be recognized but when his primary wife had children they were the inheritors. A poor Aztec man was only likely to have one wife since a family could grow very larger and expensive fast. A rich Aztec man could afford twenty or so more mouths to feed. Lastly, a husband was supposed to treat all of his wives equally. A family was given a piece of land, and they would have their own home.
