Age of 'Ali and Faatimah when they got married

Question

At what age did ʻAli, may Allaah be pleased with him, and Faatimah, may Allaah be pleased with her, marry?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His Slave and Messenger.

It was stated in As-Seerah Al-Halabiyyah that ʻAli  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him was twenty-one years old when he married Faatimah  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  her and that she was fifteen years old.

Allaah knows best.
