No, definitely not. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are NEVER told when or whom to marry. Church leaders follow a strict policy of never pressuring an individual or couple into marriage.
The average marriage age among Mormons in the United States is in the mid 20's. Most Mormons in the US have graduated from University studies or served as missionaries for the Church before considering marriage. In other nations, the age varies depending on the local culture. Still, quite a high percentage of Mormons don't marry until their 30's or 40's, and some never marry at all.
A Church leader will NEVER approve of or perform a marriage in which the bride or groom is under the legal age.
Marriage and family are very important in Mormon culture. You can learn more about what Mormons believe about marriage and family at the "Related Links" below.
