In that time period it was common for girl to be married that young. Not unusual even in Europe, since in Romeo and Juliet Juliet was only fourteen. An apprentice geisha went through her mizuage (i.e. was deflowered) at the age of thirteen. It stands to reason that an apprentice to a prostitute would be the same way. About Saya and Hana's age...
[SPOILERS] I watched a non A-F fansub (*gasp*) of episode 13 (I was desperate, okay?!). In it Akesato mentions that Saya is "almost sixteen". So, like Tetsu, she is actually just a really young looking fifteen year old.
Akesato also mentions that Saya will eventually also be getting "customers" and graduating to a full-fledged courtesan. At the moment Saya and Hana are kamuro.
According to Women of the Pleasure Quarters, courtesans taught their apprentices taught them how to behave, the arts (music, calligraphy, the tea ceremony) as well as little things courtesans need to know about men and sex. The book also states that kamuro go through their mizuage "at thirteen or fourteen, when the child reached sexual maturity".[/SPOILERS]
