• I'm sorry. What land do you live in. You need to understand the question you asked, plus understand why you got the answer you got before you down rate someone. I try to overlook the duh part when it comes from duh people.

• I did, my bad. Sorry guys.
  
  Depends on the religion in question. Judeo-Christian myth requires marriage before sex; therefore, what is the age at which one may marry?

• Marriage is an institution in which interpersonal relationships (usually intimate and sexual) are sanctioned with governmental, social, or religious recognition. It is often created by a contract or through civil processes. Civil marriage is the legal concept of marriage as a governmental institution, in accordance with marriage laws of the land, and the legal age for parties seeking to be married varies from state to state.

• This has nothing to do with the question which was asked, I might add, which was specifically about the age a child can choose to not follow a religion of his parents choosing.

• I meant what age is acceptable for the individual. Not what age is acceptable legally.
  
  Religiously, I suppose one could marry at any given time.

• As for your second comment - I answered that too. There is no law in any doctrine I can think of, with the exception of Islam, that forces a child to follow his parent's beliefs.
  
  There is no law in any country I can think of, with the exception of Muslim controlled areas, that says a child must follow their parent's beliefs.
