Check again, but in Canada the age is lower than other places. Much lower than 18 years.
Okay, here is what I found:
CURRENT LAW
The Criminal Code does not now criminalize consensual sexual activity with or between persons 14 or over, unless it takes place in a relationship of trust or dependency, in which case sexual activity with persons over 14 but under 18 can constitute an offence, notwithstanding their consent. Even consensual activity with those under 14 but over 12 may not be an offence if the accused is under 16 and less than two years older than the complainant. The exception, of course, is anal intercourse, to which unmarried persons under 18 cannot legally consent, although both the Ontario Court of Appeal(3) and the Quebec Court of Appeal(4) have struck down the relevant section of the Criminal Code.

Couldnt find any reasonable site for the legal age for marriages though, google mostly gave me "gay marriage" results for canada

Yes I am. I dont know the age limits and hence asked the question.
I know there is something like 18 years of age for getting married. But I dont know the rest.
I guess it was an innocent question. I jumped to a conclussion. I'm Sorry for doing that.
Its alright, I am still learning. Never needed that info (anything above 18 is safe), hence never tried to research.....
