[TruthTalk] How old was Mary?
In an early writing (c. AD 150) called The Proto-Gospel of James, Mary was betrothed at 12, and became pregnant with Jesus at 16. (Lost Scriptures, by Bart D. Ehrman. Oxford University Press, Inc. NY 2003).

DAVEH: Thank you for your straight forward answer on this, Perry. Is there another contrasting source that would suggest the age of 14, as is implied in Izzy's post.
