With parental permission, boys are legal to marry at 14, girls at 12, though it is not recommended so early. One comes of age at 21. Sir Thomas More recommended that girls not marry before 18 and boys not before 22. In non-noble families, the most common age for marriage is 25-26 for men, about 23 for women.
