Sri:
Appan ThiruvadigalE Saranam

I may be wrong about the age, but according to Sri Velukkudi Krishnan
Swamin's lectures on Ramayan Tanislokam few years back, I remember
swami mentioning that the age of Sri Sitadevi and Sri Rama were 6 and
12, respectively, at the time of their wedding....

She says that her father janaka got submerged in the ocean of worry
since she has reached the age of 5 and still he wasnt able to arrange
for her marriage. Sri rama comes to mithila after finishing the task
of sage vishvamitra. While Vishvamitra went to the court of
dhasharatha to request him to send rama and lakshmana to safeguard his
yaga from the asuras dhasharatha refuses saying, "oonashOdasha
varushOmE ramO rajeeva lOchana:" from where it is said that rama hasnt
yet attained the age of 16 which implies that he should be around 15.
It is said by our acharyas that in those days marriage was done only
to a bridegroom who was 3 times the age of the bride (those were the
age of early marriage).
