What age did roman boys get married?

Answer 1

Legally, a marriage could be contracted when the girl was 12 and the boy 14. However this rarely happened. The general age of the girl was about 15 or 16 while the boy/husband was usually much older as many times the man wanted to get his military obligations out of the way before he settled down to a marriage. If the couple were in the upper classes and politics was on the horizon, this situation would change and a marriage would take place when the boy was younger.

Answer 2

Legally, Roman boys could marry at the age of 14, however most boys did not because they were not even official citizens at that age. Occasionally a young man would marry at sixteen or a little later, but most "boys" were grown men before they married, unless they had political ambitions. The reason for this is that the men were expected to perform some sort of military service and the common soldier could not marry. It was not unusual for a man to marry for the first time when he was in his late thirties or even forties. If a man had political ambitions, he would marry much younger and always into a family that could hep him in his career.
