Halahchically, a boy has to be bar mitzvah age and a girl bat mitzvah age to get married. But secular law prohibits kids that young from getting married in every country I’ve ever researched. In Israel, the couple has to be 18 — period. In most of the US, 16 year olds can get married but only with the consent of all the parents.
