It's currently 13!! Not only that, it's 14 for boys.
Is that weird? Like, for there to be two different ages suggests that someone put some thought into this, but apparently not enough thought to realize 13 year olds shouldn't be getting married.
Organize society smartly and 13 is probably too young in general but not as too young as people might think. Our current standards are out of whack, and they keep getting pushed back. These days, people generally don't seem to become adults until mid-twenties (or ever?!). The typical 15 year old Amish can run circles around our precious snowflakes.
