It is difficult to answer this question because in some countries, a girl as young as eight or nine can be given in marriage by her father; she has no say in it, and such marriages are often to pay family debts or to create alliances between particular ethnic groups; because such marriages are in very rural or underdeveloped areas of the world, they are rarely covered by the press. There have been a few news stories About a Boy and a girl as young as ten who were part of an arranged marriage in India or Afghanistan, but such marriages do not seem to be the norm, even in the countries where they sometimes occur.
In the United States, most states have set the age of consent for sex at 16 or 17. The legal age for marriage is generally 18. In some states, young people who want to marry before they have attained the age of 18 need a court's permission or they need parental consent. There have been a few news stories over the years of girls as young as 11 being married, but their husband was generally older.
The first world's youngest couple is 9-year old Jayla Cooper and 7-year old Jose Griggs. Jayla wanted to get married before dying (she had leukemia). Jose Griggs was also a paitent at the hospital Cooper was admitted in.
The next youngest couple would probably be Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. They recently realized they were perfect for each other, soon after Bieber's 17th birthday on March 1st, 2011 and his interview on "Ellen DeGeneres" show.
