The canonical gospel of Matthew and Luke describe Mary as a virgin. Traditionally, Christians believe that she conceived her son miraculously by the agency of the Holy Spirit. Muslims believe that she conceived by the command of Allaah. This took place when she was already betrothed to Saint Joseph and was awaiting the concluding rite of marriage, the formal home-taking ceremony. She married Joseph and accompanied him to Bethlehem, where Jesus (as) was born. In keeping with Jewish custom, the betrothal would have taken place when she was around 12 years old, and the birth of Jesus (as) about a year later (when she was 13years old) - Wikipedia.
