How old was Solomon when he got married?

Answer 1

Before David dies, he appoints as king his son Solomon, who is 12 years old at the time, with these words:

"I go the way of all the earth. You shall be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes and His commandments and His testimonies. As it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn." (1 King 2:2-3)

Answer 2

King Solomon (of Hebrew, Muslim and Christian fame) probably never existed.

The Jewish Old Testament figures his age to be around eighty (80) years old when he died. Real or not, the legend is awesome and interesting.
