According to the bible how old must you be before you get married?

Or does it just tell you to go by whatever laws your country/state/province has assigned?

    Well my RE teacher once said Mary was about 12 or 13 when she was married to Joseph...

    Remember; Old testament Christianity was Judaism.

    Bat Mitzvah is at 12 for girls. Bar Mitzvah is 13 for boys.

    This is when they can be considered adults.

    I can't help you with the new testament though...

    Romans 13 tells us to obey those in authority over us so you are correct; you observe the laws under which you live.
