In the ancient Near East, it was important for a girl to marry while she was still a virgin. For this reason, a marriage was usually arranged as soon as she reached puberty, or a little earlier.

There wasn't an exact age, but it was generally considered that when a girl was old enough to conceive children she would be old enough to marry. So probably 13, 14, 15 years old would have been the most common.

Thirteen years old was the most common age. The young couple continued to live in the house of the girl's family for a few years.
