Your question is flawed. No such verse exists.

Traditional engagements in Jewish culture occurred when the female was between 15 and 17; while the actual marriage took place between 16 and 18. The male was generally 2 - 5 years older than the female, and families either side were generally in full agreement for the wedding to take place.

Obviously there were exceptions to this, just as there are in our own time; but the story of Mary and Joseph did not divert from traditional protocol. Both of their families were very religious, and Mary could have been stoned when she came back from her cousin’s house pregnant, due to the strict order of the Israelites.
