Did you mean:

When I was your age, I was already married. ?

A bit strange, but possible, I think:

A is 30, married (divorced / widowed)
B is 38, not married.
When you (=B) were my age (8 years before now; A was 22, B was 30), I (=A) was already married.

Yes, it's possible but I wonder if this is what Nuel really wanted to convey...

@Ergulis

I guess the Czech sentences don't match.

You are right, Marina. I didn't read it properly. It would match if the sentence were in the form you proposed: "When I was your age, I was already married"
I can modify that. However, it doesn't make too much sense to me, so I decided to delete both my translations.
Thanks for the notifying.

One mother says to her daughter "When you were my age, I was already married".

Her daughter is eighteen now and when the mother was eighteen, she got married.

It makes absolute sense to me, at least in Italian but not only because of the language:)

In the situation you described she would say:
"When I was your age, I was already married".

"When you were my age" said to the daughter who is 18 now, just doesn't make sense.

As I wrote to you privately, Maraton, you're all perfectly right.

I don't know why it made sense to me.

Now I can see it clearly:)
