Nobody knows. From our limited knowledge of the culture of the period, she was around 16, maybe as young as 15. People were considered Adults younger then.

no clear evidence in the Bible that states the age of Mary...in the Bible the term "young" is not referring to teenagers..but for them it is about 30-40 years old...or more...

according to the law of Moses Mary would have been eligable to be wed at 14 or 15yrs old, I don`t know where this idea of other children comes from though.

It is unclear when EXACTLY st mary conceived Christ. But it is believed that she was as young as 15 or 16.
As for the second pregnancy, well...there was none. Hence, she is known as the 'Virgin Mary'. She remained a Virgin after the birth of Christ. and there are many proofs to this.
I hope this Helps...God Bless.
