The Bible says she was "a young woman" that all we know for sure.

The Bible does not say how old Mary was. But theologians have guessed that she must have been around 15 years of age.

The Bible does not give us her age, but based on the Jewish customs we know of the time period she could have been around 13 or 14... so you're on the right track.

She was around 15 at the time she had Jesus. I'm not sure if her age was actually stated in the Bible, but that was the common age for women to marry at that time.

Luke 2
53 And his mother was twenty-seven years of age at the time and his father was thirty-three years of age. 54 Upon the arrival of Jesus' nineteenth year his father died and his mother mourned for a month.

So that would have made her fifteen when he was born.

Tradition tells us that Mary was in her early teens when she got pregnant. It also tells us that she lived to her 70's or older.

No, the Bible doesn't give a specific age. Most people believe she was 12-16, but we won't ever know for sure.

We cannot, of course, say for certain, but a likely conjecture is between 14 and 17 years old
