It was not stated on the bible how old they were when they lived as husband and wife. Nobody as of now who could tell you as their is no record.
That is not important on religious matter. Its useless asking that question. You are just making fun of it.

I don't recall any direct reference in the Gospels to the specific ages of these two, but I believe Mary was supposed to be an adolescent, and Joseph was a somewhat young man (20s?).
If you are curious, read the first few chapters of each Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). If it is recorded, it will be somewhere in those first couple chapters of each book.

There was no mention of Mary's and Joseph's ages in the Bible that I can recall. Jesus was 33 when He died on Good Friday.

Mary was 16 and Joseph was in his 50s. Google it if you need to.

She was 17 years old.She was engaged to Joseph when she got pregnant with Jesus Christ after the holy spirit from God set upon her. I read this information from a book that was about her life.

No one knows for sure, but it should be in the census of that time, some say she was around mid teens because this was about the age most got wed

I don't think it even says in the Bible how old they were. It confuses people because artists usually depicted Mary as looking very young in paintings and sculpture because they wanted to show her virginity and innocence. (Even if she's depicted with Jesus she looks half his age!) So although we have the stereotype, I don't think anyone actually knows.

She was a bit older than 16, and he was much older than her.
