Old enough to be considered a woman, but culturally it could have been as young as 16.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! (Luke 1:41-42)
There wasn't consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.
She did consent though. It's in the account.
Yes. it can absolutely be spun that way, as I said. As most anything in the Bible can be. Let me ask this then. Could she have said no? And when would that have happened?
Are we really debating the sky wizard role playing game book?
No, just debating which set of rules we're playing by.
Could have been as young as 13, as Virgin generally meant not ready for sex yet.
however it is a misconception that people married and had kids young in the past. generally it was in your early 20s even in antiquity
She was called a woman by her cousin who was so old that John the Baptist's birth was miraculous. She could have been older, not all women married young. But to be considered a woman she wouldn't have been 13.
