Assuming that the story is true. I read somewhere that they would probably have been young teenagers, since that is the age people got married at the time. Apparently men were supposed to get married by the age of twenty. Does anyone know, or can someone make a good guess?

There are no records of this in the Gospels but an educated guess would be that Mary was around 15-16yrs but Joseph was at least 10yrs older.

they are suggested. that they had intercourse in some unspecified time interior the destiny after Jesus became into born, that they had a minimum of four different sons, and a few daughters, Joseph became right into a wood worker, Mary became into present in numerous places interior the scripture. while Jesus became into 12, he strayed remote from his mothers and fathers and that they had to pass returned to locate him, and located him on the temple... they are suggested. His adolescence isn't suggested lots, and that i think of area of that's by using the fact the books have been written specifically by using his disciples/apostles, and that they did not come to be responsive to him till his adulthood. I additionally think of that his adolescence isn't substantial sufficient to rely interior the scheme of issues and in what he became into right here for. the comparable way his date of start and his actual visual charm are actually not suggested, so they should not be considered necessary.

The Holy Bible does not say or even hint at the ages of either,
if you want to get close your best bet would be to look at the custums of the day. I can not help you there as I have never found a reason to search.
