I believe it has been increased to 21 now, but am not 100% certain on this.

I'm sure you can get married at 18 but in order to apply for a spouse visa to come to the UK, you both need to be 21!

Ah! I knew I'd seen "21" somewhere in relation to marriage! Apologies to the OP for my (partially)_ incorrect advice.
