The more significant issue is that Mary did not remain a virgin after the birth of Jesus. The Scriptures clearly discuss the siblings of Jesus.
(Matthew 1:25) [Joseph] had no intercourse with [Mary] UNTIL she gave birth to a son; and he called his name Jesus. [caps added]
(Matthew 13:53-56) Jesus had finished these illustrations he went across country from there. 54 And after coming into his home territory he began to teach them in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said: “Where did this man get this wisdom and these powerful works? 55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And his sisters, are they not all with us?
(Mark 6:3) This is the carpenter the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon, is it not? And his sisters are here with us, are they not?
(Luke 8:19-21) Now [Jesus'] mother and brothers came toward him, but they were unable to get to him because of the crowd. 20 However, it was reported to him: “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside wanting to see you.” 21 In reply he said to them: “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
(John 2:12) After this he [Jesus] and his mother and brothers and his disciples went down to Capernaum, but they did not stay there many days.
(John 7:5) His [Jesus'] brothers were, in fact, not exercising faith in him.
(Acts 1:14) With one accord all these were persisting in prayer, together with some women and Mary the mother of Jesus and with his brothers.
(1 Corinthians 9:5) the rest of the apostles and [Jesus] the Lord’s brothers and Cephas

None of the ages you listed would have been considered very young at that time. Most women of those days were married before they were 15.
I had heard she was about 13, but I can't remember where I heard this.

B. She was young by our standards, but I don't think it was super-young. Though the bible has been translated several times over and tweaked, so it's hard to get accurate pictures of how old people really were.
